at the wide receiver position. The first thing that stood out when we watched Straughn’s film was his physicality. And that’s talking about his frame at 6’2 and then how he plays the game at wide receiver. One thing that always impresses us when we watch wide receiver highlights is how often you see the clips of the wideout blocking down field or in the run game. It’s so important to the offense and it can really separate good and great wide receivers. Now, it’s still too early to tell on whether or not Straughn is going to be at that level. But the physicality was impressive, the speed was impressive as well as he is a very smooth runner in the open field and he has a strong upper body and isn’t easy to bring down. We think Straughn could be a breakout player for Mustang this fall.
