If you’re an athlete reading this, you’ll be familiar with the basic “Slot, Deep Threat, Physical, and Route Runner” categories that Madden has, which isn’t a bad place to start. When I think of a physical receiver, I think of a big body who can go up and get any ball. Think Calvin Johnson or DK Metcalf (and no, I would never compare the two, Megatron is worlds better). Anyways, here are four receivers that thrive with physicality!
Nick Marsh Nick Marsh 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR River Rouge | 2024 State MI – River Rouge – 6’3″ 195lbs
If you’re reading this, you know who Nick Marsh Nick Marsh 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR River Rouge | 2024 State MI is. One of the premier receiver talents in the country, Nick Marsh Nick Marsh 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR River Rouge | 2024 State MI has developed a brand out of Mossing, or, I mean “Marshing” defenders. He’s a well-rounded prospect that is known for being physical. He’s constantly invited to the best camps in America, and he’s always performed extremely well.
Jamari Culliver Jamari Culliver 6'3" | 205 lbs | WR Lincoln | 2024 MI – Marshall – 6’3″ 205lbs
Culliver is an ultra-talented receiver that epitomizes physicality at the position. Just watch his highlights; his 2021 season is chock-full of insane catches and broken tackles. I remember first coming across his film and being blown away by the best highlights. Seriously looking forward to evaluating his 2022 season.
Evan Boyd Evan Boyd 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR East Lansing | 2023 State MI – East Lansing – 6’3″ 190lbs
A star on the gridiron and hardwood, Evan Boyd Evan Boyd 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR East Lansing | 2023 State MI is a great athlete and sensational receiver for a school known for a few great wideouts. His highlights are full of amazing hands, physicality, focus, and awareness. Boyd can make jaw-dropping plays, frequently embarrassing opposing defensive backs. I can’t wait to see what 2022 has to offer for Boyd.
Semaj Morgan Semaj Morgan 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR West Bloomfield | 2023 State MI – West Bloomfield – 5’10″ 175lbs
Now, Morgan may not be the hulking presence some of these guys are, but he can go up and get any ball, and I just wanted an excuse to talk about this guy. Semaj j. Morgan is one of the most well-rounded receiver prospects in the nation, and he’ll be a Michigan Wolverine after graduation. Speedy, twitchy, with great hands that warrant the physicality trait. He’s able to go up top and make some amazing one-handed grabs.
