2. N’Keal Harry – Arizona State

If you’re a fan of big-bodied receivers who can go up and make catches in traffic than N’Keal Harry is a receiver you will love. He is a perfect fit for teams who are looking to help their quarterbacks out by providing them a receiver with a large catch radius.

Harry stood out on a very mediocre Arizona State offense last season. He excelled primarily as a possession receiver for the Sun Devils. He was able to catch 73 passes for a total of 1,000 yards last year.

NFL teams will love the fact that he caught so many balls, but some scouts will understandably question his lack of big plays. 13.7 yards per catch is definitely on the low end for a potential NFL star.

Hopefully Herm Edwards’ experience in the NFL can help Harry become a more accomplished route runner. Right now, he has a tendency to coast on his athleticism and size. If he’s going to thrive in the NFL, he’ll need to learn to run crisp routes to create space.

In the end, Harry isn’t going to be an explosive NFL receiver. He’s much more in the mold of someone like Kelvin Benjamin than Antonio Brown. That’s not a great fit for some teams, but Harry will still be a high draft pick next April.
