WHERE ARE THEY NOW? A look at Top 10 wide receivers

2008 was a pretty solid class. But you could honestly do this for most position with some meaningful stats. Hell, go look at the top RB and QB recruits from mid-2000s to now. I've never even heard of some of them.

Someone had a cool post around last nfl draft. The experts are correct more than incorrect. Yes some are way off and some two stars make it but if you look at the big picture they are decently accurate.

----------HS class of 2007----------
#1 Ronald Johnson 5 stars @ USC - decent wr
#2 Terrance Toliver 5 stars @ LSU - solid to above avg, NFL?
#3 Chris Culliver 5 stars @ South Carolina - solid
#4 Dwight Jones 5 stars @ North Carolina - solid

#10 Martavis Bryant 4 stars @ Clemson - nothing much

i thought he was picked up by philly?


my bad he was signed but was later waived. my bad.

a few of those guys had transferred or troubles with the law i think.

Everything I've ever read indicates that wide receivers, quarterbacks, and offensive tackles are the recruits who are most often busts. Defensive backs and defensive linemen are least often busts. Maybe that's just in the NFL, though. Hopefully.

It sucks losing Collins, and he's very likely to be a stud at Alabama, but I appreciate you trying to improve the mood.

#3 DeVier Posey 5 stars @ Ohio St. - solid when not suspended, booted off OSU

Guy was not booted out of OSU, but he did F himself over his senior year.

He was open on numerous occasions for TDs against both Mich and Fla, but Miller just couldn't get him the ball (mostly overthrows by a young QB who hasn't gotten it all figured out yet)

And was Robert Woods not a top 10 WR coming out of HS? I mean he's a stud and I know he was a 5*

Kyle Prater is leaving SC
