2018 NFL Draft: Ranking the Top-10 wide receivers
By Dana Becker
For three seasons, Courtland Sutton shined in SMU under the watchful eye of Chad Morris. With Morris leaving for the Arkansas head coaching job, Sutton elected to depart early for the NFL.
As a junior, Sutton caught 68 passes for 1,085 yards and 12 touchdowns, adding to his 76-reception, 1,246-yard, 10-score campaign his junior year. After redshirting in 2014, the 6-foot-4 speedster caught 49 balls for 862 yards and nine scores.
Over his three-year career, Sutton caught 195 passes covering over 3,000 yards with 31 touchdowns. His ability and knack to find the end zone is evident, along with his 16.5 average per reception for his career.
His size makes him an imposing figure on the field, and with 4.5 speed, Sutton can also get down the field in a hurry. Expect to see him off the board pretty early.
