NFL Draft 2019: Top 25 underclassman prospects

The 2019 NFL Draft is just a few months away and the next few weeks will be full of preparation for the NFL Combine.

With the official deadline for underclassmen to declare for the draft passed, it’s time to look at which of these players can make an immediate impact on the league. We go over the top 25 underclassmen in the 2019 NFL Draft, and this should not be viewed as a potential mock draft.

We are simply ranking the players regardless of position or where they may go, and focusing solely on how good they are when stacked up against each other.

Here’s a look at our top 25 underclassmen that will hear their names called during the 2019 NFL Draft.

Ole Miss’ passing game had a surprisingly potent attack when A.J. Brown was on the field. For the last two seasons, he has dominated corners and safeties in the SEC making a claim for the best receiver in the country.

The 2018 season saw Brown catch 85 passes for 1,320 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged over 15 yards per reception and while his touchdowns and average yards per catch were down from 2017, he is still one of the best playmakers in this draft.

His biggest strength is getting separation at the line of scrimmage from the opposing cornerback. He has the size and agility to make plays all over the field, but was primarily used as a slot receiver and could develop nicely into that role in the league.

Anyone looking to draft him as a legitimate number one or two receiver from day one may be disappointed, but if you plug him in at the slot position he could potentially grab 70 passes and eight touchdowns.

He has deceptive speed and while he uses his long legs to make big strides he isn’t considered exceptionally fast. Running at the combine could dismiss those concerns for other teams and he could be a late first round or early second round selection.
