Key Traits: Catch-in-Traffic & Concentration

Rounding out the group is C.J. Yates, a receiver whose game is built on reliability in high-pressure moments. His two defining traits—catching in traffic and elite concentration—consistently show up when his team needs him most.

Time and again, Yates secures the football with defenders draped over him. He finishes through contact, handles poorly placed throws, and stays locked in even as hits arrive. That ability to maintain focus in chaos separates dependable receivers from average ones, and Yates thrives in those situations.

At the same time, he adds big-play ability. When given space, Yates shows enough speed to turn catches into long gains and take plays the distance. That combination of toughness and explosiveness makes him difficult to defend.

Ultimately, Yates brings balance to the receiver position. He breaks games open when opportunities arise, yet he also delivers in tight windows and critical moments. With his hands and concentration, C.J. Yates continues to prove he can be trusted—and that reliability makes him one of the more intriguing wide receivers in the 2027 class.
