WATCH: Stock on the rise? D.J. Chark makes nice TD grab at Senior Bowl practice

LSU WR D.J. Chark is an interesting NFL prospect, especially considering where he played in college.
When you play receiver at LSU, you’re not going to get a ton of passes thrown your way, but the school has still produced incredible NFL receivers like Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.
Therefore, Chark can make a name for himself at this week’s Senior Bowl, and it appears he’s doing just that. In the video below, shared on Twitter by @ChaseGoodbread, Chark gets behind the defense and hauls in a nice touchdown pass from Virginia QB Kurt Benkert:

Chark finished the 2017 season with 40 catches for an impressive 874 yards and three touchdowns. He also had a rushing touchdown and two scores on punt returns.
He’s a versatile athlete who could certainly make an impact in the NFL next year. How high he can rise in the draft remains to be seen, but he’s off to a good start.
