He has good athleticism and body control. He provides a big catch radius and attacks the ball when it's in the air rather than letting it come to him. He's a weapon who can not only get open but go up and get it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

In the last 2 articles I highlighted the top quarterbacks who caught my eye. Today I start the first of two articles looking at the wide receivers who stood out to me on the weekend. I'll be highlighting 5 players who made plays and produced by using different skillsets.
