While many have Jaylen Waddle ranked as the third receiver in the 2021 NFL draft class behind Ja'Marr Chase and DeVonta Smith, it appears his standing around the league is much stronger.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on SportsCenter that multiple league scouts have described Waddle as the best player in the 2021 draft:
"I've talked to multiple scouts in this process who said [Jaylen Waddle] might be the best overall player in this draft, regardless of position. He's electric. He reminds them a little bit of Tyreek Hill, with his speed and big-play ability.
