A few recent 1st round WRs..

DeAndre Hopkins 6'1 214 lbs ran a 4.57 (1st round)
Justin Blackmon 6'1 210 lbs ran a 4.46 (1st round)
Michael Floyd 6'3 220 lbs ran a 4.47 (1st round)
Kendall Wright 5'10 196 lbs ran a 4.61 (1st round)
A.J Jenkins 6'0 190 lbs ran a 4.39 (1st round)

Odell Beckham Jr. 6'0 193 lbs
Jarvis Landry 6'1 195 lbs

If they both wanted they could easily get into the 205 range before the combine. There's a good history of productive WRs around their size getting drafted in the first or second round.


Yep, the NFL isn't as hung up on height as much these days. They still like the taller WRs, but are finding that guys who are shorter can be big time players.
