2023 NJ’s Top Receiving Targets

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Onto the offensive side of the ball where these wideouts beat coverages all season. With these players in particular, defenses had trouble regardless of who they lined up against them. It would be a mistake for defenses to try to have one on one coverage with any of these deep threats. Here are five of the most prolific receivers from the 2023 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["389746"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A player I have covered extensively, Cam Miller is one of the best, if not the best, wide receiver coming out of New Jersey in 2025. The Winslow wideout was unstoppable all season long, as he put up some of the best stats in the state. One of the faster receivers you will find, Cam's quick feet allows him to dart on by the competition or trip up the defender as runs a double move. Catching 15 touchdowns this fall and racking up 1334 yards, Cam had one of the most prolific junior seasons and is sure to stun defenders next year as well.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a0be"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15415915/655d33a0478d7f0604f61103' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656d2413bc470"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["811596"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Arguably the most underrated receiver in the state, [player_tooltip player_id='811596' first='Zach' last='Garmont'] displayed pure athleticism for Verona. Bringing in 7 touchdowns and 1327 yards to go with it, Zach's dangerous acceleration consistently caught defenders off guard. If  defensive back's feet stopped moving for a moment, they were in trouble because Zach would be running on by. A receiver with great hand-eye coordination as well, Zach could lay out for the ball or put his body in tough positions and still come down with it. With unreal body awareness, Zach is a true D1 talent.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a169"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15897802/6540745190f9c0027000fb16' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-656d2413bc520"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["883312"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another player I've praised in the past, [player_tooltip player_id='883312' first='Joel' last='Cordoba'] was one of Plainfield's biggest playmakers on the season.

As a receiver, Joel played explosively throughout 2023.  With a quick first step off of the line Joel used his speed to leave defenders behind. Racking up 1204 yards and 9 touchdowns, Joel is ready to make just as big of an impact at the next level, but lucky for us, he has one more year to prove his worth.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65411b575a1de"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17267288/653d8f102aa7cb0da0d15202' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6573b8a818f84"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["826553"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='826553' first='Benny' last='Liles'] was an absolute mismatch for all defensive backfields this season.
