3. Speedy Noil, WR, San Antonio Commanders

As his name might suggest, Speedy Noil, a former Texas A&M wide receiver provided a spark on offense by embodying the quintessential definition of an athlete.

As a high school player, he was one of the top-rated athletes in the country. He proved his worth and the Aggies got a lot of mileage out of him as he picked up 1,134 career receiving yards and nine touchdowns.

His freshman season was his best, a year in which he hauled in 46 receptions and averaged 12 yards per catch.

While he certainly has the speed, he also was a good reception receiver and made tough catches with defenders draped all over him.

This combination, if it translates well to his time in the AAF could certainly attract the attention of NFL scouts.

Noil’s hype coming out of high school may have overshadowed his yearnings to play in the NFL, which he only was invited to mini-camps for. However, he is yet another prospect that has a shot at redemption and a second look because he is just 23 years old.

He did do a little bit of kick returning at Texas A&M, so this could be an avenue he could pursue in terms of an ascent to the NFL, but for now, he is still an explosive wideout that should see a lot of action come February.
