Texas Tech WR Dylan Cantrell is a confounding evaluation

Following a slow start to his college career and a red-shirted junior season, Dylan Cantrell posted two impressive seasons to put himself in a position to hear his name called on the draft’s final day. Cantrell averaged 64.5 receptions, 745.5 yards and 7.5 touchdowns per season in his final two years at Texas Tech.

Cantrell is an interesting evaluation. He excelled playing on the outside for the Red Raiders and would project there in the pros, however he lacks the athletic traits of a successful outside receiver in the NFL. He tested really well at the Scouting Combine and combined with his nearly 6-3 and 226-pound frame, his profile looks the part.
