<p>There are several game scenarios critical to a player's success, and one of the most important is the two-minute drill. These five wide receivers/tight ends have proven they can be reliable targets for their quarterbacks. </p>    <p>[player_tooltip player_id='228033' first='Tayshawn' last='Edwards'] is a prospect to add to the recruiting board. He's a vertical threat, capable of dominating in short to intermediate and stretching the field to open up other opportunities. His ability to create separation with his good foot speed, acceleration, control, and stop/go skills is impressive, both vertically and at his breaks.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TayshawnEdwards/status/2016210872260055253?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1223179' first='Bryson' last='Thompson'] is going to garner more attention this fall. He effectively attacks the middle of the field with good foot quickness and his ability to win against zone. Thompson is a smooth route runner due to solid body control, fluidity, and the burst needed to create separation at his breaks.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bryson_KCC/status/1992789391119700315?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2092044' first='Keelan' last='Mendoza'] is a big, reliable target at all levels of the field.
