I was about to make one for him! He was good at ND but never had a good QB throwing him the ball. Book put up okay numbers because he had Boykin and Claypool making him look good. Wimbush was a RB playing QB with no accuracy whatsoever.
He received a 2nd round grade from the advisory committee before the combine and is not hurting his stock at all. He's physical and a great jump ball receiver. For a bigger receiver, he does a decent job getting open, but his QBs didn't always find him at ND. the 4.42 speed is just a bonus. There are a ton of good WRs and TEs in this draft which will cause some to fall.

I didn't even know about this guy until now. Seems like a pretty mature and collected dude. Definitely does not look like a diva. Looks like a beast on the field.
I just can't tell where all these WRs are going to go. AJ Brown, Butler, Harmon, Harry, Boykin, Deebo, Ridley, Arcega-Whiteside.... that's 8 WRs who could all be in play at #36. And if there are that many available in the 2nd, some of them are going to be available in the 3rd. I mean, last year EQ St Brown went in the 6th. So many WRs to choose from it's making my head spin.

Miles Boykin posted one of the top #RAS at the #2019NFLCombine, which would be a top 20 grade out of over 2,000 prospects dating back to 1987. He did so with great size, speed, amazing explosiveness, and agility.

Murdered the combine, dragged the carcass to his car, drove out to the woods, buried it, and then went out for ice cream.
Between Edge and WR we're going to have some serious talent on offer at #2 and #36.
Now to sit back and see what the DB's do to top it.

I predict that lots of people will be revisting his film over the next few weeks.

The numbers he put up today is insane. DK has the headlines because of the 4.3 40, but overall this kid smashed the combine even more than him imo. I was able to watch some of the Stanford game and only highlights of others and was impressed. Need to watch more but he's waaaaaay up for me after today

Hopefully not the next Jon Baldwin. Seems like he's much more agile than Baldwin was though.

Please post your thoughts afterwards, this kid got me so intrigued cause those numbers are just ridiculous. I watched a little more last night and to be honest was a little less impressed. Liked his willingness to run block but noticed he doesn't separate much in pass routes and unfortunately that's where I believe Shanny puts the most stock, that's even #1 for me. Damnit I want to love him

Ya, I agree. He can't separate much. I'd take him as a 3rd or 4th if we still haven't addressed receiver by then. But for Shanahan, limited route tree and little separation probably gives him an undraftable grade
