For the most part, the wide receivers who get the most attention are the big, athletic guys — the ones who will probably be lining up out wide as a classic “X” receiver.
However, we’ve seen another breed of receiver make waves in recent years. Players who don’t physically dominate defenders but their quickness and agility makes them very difficult to cover. The New York Giants have had great success with players like Victor Cruz, Sterling Shepard, and now Wan’Dale Robinson — all of whom are from that mold.
Virginia receiver Malik Washington is another receiver in that mold, and he could find himself rising up boards over the course of the 2024 draft process.
