Eric Decker, WR, Minnesota
Height: 6-2
Weight: 215
40 Time: 4.52
Projected Round: 2-3
Decker is under the radar at this point but don’t let that fool you; he is an NFL-ready wideout who has great size, great hands, and an unmatched work ethic. His imposing size will make him a target for teams missing a possession-type receiver and he will transition nicely into the professional level.
Although he sometimes neglects to plant his foot properly and make the quick cuts, Decker is very knowledgeable and can run every route on the field. He also does a great job at adjusting his body and catching poorly thrown balls.
Even though he is one of the more physical players coming into the draft, he does a poor job at getting off the line of scrimmage and shaking the bump and run. He also has one of the lowest YACs in this year’s class, but his true asset is his sure hands. He rarely drops the ball, making him a sure-fire contender for a possession wideout position in the NFL.
The NFL is chock full of lanky, athletic receivers who can run the sidelines and out jump the coverage. Look for a team who needs the lower-center-of-gravity type of receiver to join their already solid corps of wideouts.
Teams that will target him: Minnesota, Dallas, Philadelphia
