2020 NFL Draft wide receiver rankings: Pro comparisons for top 10 receivers

6. Michael Pittman, USC

Michael Pittman has no questions about his size at 6-foot-4 and 223 pounds. Pittman was a Biletnikoff finalist his final year at USC where he had 101 receptions and 11 touchdowns. It’s noteworthy that freshman Kedon Slovis was his quarterback for many of those receptions. Pittman doesn’t have blazing speed but he’s the son of an 11-year NFL veteran who plays like a seasoned vet. He’ll be in the league for a long time because of his ability to win at the intermediate level.

Pro comparison: Muhsin Muhammad

Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State

The 6-foot, 205-pound Brandon Aiyuk was a name that kept getting more and more attention as the season progressed. He kept making plays for Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels and was a devastating player after the catch. He should crack the first round after running a 4,5 40 at the combine and vertical jumping 40 inches and broad jumping 128 inches.

Pro comparison: Chad Johnson

Tee Higgins, Clemson

The 6-foot-4, 216-pound Tee Higgins was one of the big-play weapons for Trevor Lawrence at Clemson over the last two years. Higgins finished his career tied with Hopkins and Sammy Watkins with 27 touchdowns for the most in school history. He’s a big, long-strider with exceptional body control who should be an especially imposing figure in the red zone.

Pro comparison: A.J. Green

Jalen Reagor, TCU

The 5-foot-11, 206-pound Jalen Reagor ran a 4.47 40 at the combine which was a bit of a disappointment for a player who plays much faster and was thought to run in the 4.3 range. His virtual pro day suggested he does have elite track speed and top-notch athleticism. He had an up-and-down year at TCU which can be attributed to shoddy quarterback play, but Reagor let that affect his play, or at least his concentration at times. There’s a lot to like though.

Pro comparison: Deebo Samuel

Laviska Shenault, Jr., Colorado

Laviska Shenault was one of the more exciting players to watch in the nation when he was healthy. The problem was he had durability concerns at Colorado, and it’s a concern that translates to the next level and why he won’t be a first round pick in all likelihood. The 6-foot-1, 227-pound Shenault is built like a running back or shorter tight end. He’s not entirely fluid as a route-runner and is more of a bull after the catch. He can run you over, but he may not run by you. Shenault ran a 4.58 at the combine. The talent is there and if he can stay healthy, the potential is there for him to be a quality WR2.

Pro comparison: Sammy Watkins
