Josh Malone, who was Joshua Dobbs’ favorite target at Tennessee, amassed 972 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns this season. He certainly has a solid pair of hands to go along with his quick feet.

Marlon Humphrey, who was a state champion track athlete in high school, and comes from parents that both ran track, is built for this kind of event.

Evan Engram, a tight end, certainly improved his draft stock, as he looks to compensate for his 6-3 size with by bringing elite speed at the position.

Isaiah McKenzie has always been a burner, earning him the nickname “The Human Joystick” at Georgia. Speed was never a question for this versatile athlete.

Quincy Adeboyejo was an essential part of an explosive Ole Miss passing offense, anchored by Chad Kelly and Evan Engram. His skinny 6-3 frame has plenty of room to add muscle, and the measurable speed makes him an intriguing prospect.
