Detroit Lions: Is Kenny Golladay a #1 wide receiver?

With the 96th pick in the 2017 NFL draft the Detroit Lions selected wide receiver Kenny Golladay out of Northern Illinois. The Chicago native averaged nearly 100 yards per game during his 2016 sophomore season with the Huskies, totaling out at 2,285 yards throughout his two-year college career.

Measuring in at a towering 6’4″ the 24 year-old has all the physical attributes to be a superstar at the next level, but does he have what it takes to be the number 1 receiver in Detroit? Yes, this ones a no-brainer.

The Golladay hype train began during Lions camp last summer, even gaining the attention of former Cincinnati Bengals superstar wide-out Chad “Ocho-Cinco” Johnson.
