WIDE RECEIVER
John Hightower | Boise State
Size, length, speed, route-running ability. Hightower checks every box necessary to be a No. 1 receiver at the next level, even if he needs a little refinement. He’s a big-play machine as both a pass-catcher and a return man, making him an instant-impact player for any NFL team.
Hightower’s combination of height, length and body control makes him a threat in the red zone, and his top-end speed is enough to stretch the field vertically and make magic happen after the catch. If he’s still on the board when Day 3 starts, the league has made a big mistake.
