Many viewed the 2016 class of receivers as a tad underwhelming going into the draft. However, that didn’t stop teams from selecting four of them with the top 23 selections.
The expectations for rookie wideouts are lofty; in 2014 we saw Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Evans, and Kelvin Benjamin each go over 1,000 yards, with Sammy Watkins only 18 yards away from joining them. The 2015 class was not as extraordinary, with only Amari Cooper surpassing the 1,000 yard mark. How will the 2016 first-round receivers compare?
