After an increased role with former high school teammate Kyler Murray at the helm in 2018, Morris saw his production slip with Jalen Hurts under center.
He played three fewer games in 2019, nabbing 18 receptions for 330 yards and just one touchdown. With Murray, he saw 21 receptions, 457 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games. He started eight games in the 2019 season.
In the 2017 season, Morris made the most of his opportunities by finishing with two receptions on the year, which both resulted in touchdowns.
With plenty of established quarterbacks in the NFL, receivers are a hot commodity in the upcoming draft. Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb and Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy are projected to be the top two receivers selected.
The draft will begin Thursday, April 23, and end on Saturday, April 25. It will be in a completely virtual format.
