First Look at the 2024 Wide Receiver Class

Important names to be aware of and how they collectively stack up to recent draft classes.

We’re now gearing up for bowl season and you might be “sizing up” big name wide receiver prospects to players that’ve left for the NFL in recent years.

Working in football and helping a team win at the highest level is my current mission. Every single one of you who reads and/or subscribes mean a lot to me, and I truly appreciate your support.
