26. Indianapolis Colts – Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson

Justyn Ross was one of Trevor Lawrence’s preferred targets as a freshman at Clemson and should continue to blossom into one of the top receivers in college football.

The 6’4″, 205-pound receiver had 46 receptions for 1,000 yards and nine touchdowns. His 21.7 average yards per catch made him one of the most explosive, big-play weapons in the game. As the chemistry and rapport continue to develop with Lawrence, the ceiling is the roof for how good he can be in college.

But if he were eligible this year, he’d be the new best friend of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Ever since Reggie Wayne retired, the Colts have been in need of a true No. 1 receiver who can win on the perimeter. The presence of Ross would take the pressure and attention off T.Y. Hilton and allow him to thrive as a secondary target.
