Should it be any surprise that the No. 10 overall prospect and second-overall receiver in the 2018 recruiting class makes this list? Absolutely not. Amon-Ra St. Brown has some impressive bloodlines and he has the talent that lives up to the hype.

Although he’s not the biggest receiver at 6-foot-1 and 195 pounds, St. Brown has the tools to become a star at the next level and took a massive step in 2019.

After a strong freshman season when he caught 60 passes for 750 yards and three touchdowns, he found a way to get even better as a sophomore and improve on those already-fantastic numbers with a true freshman quarterback throwing him the ball.

In fact, St. Brown caught 77 passes for 1,042 yards and six touchdowns as a sophomore and he even added a rushing touchdown.

St. Brown has become one of the best receivers in the country and if he finds a way to improve on his sophomore-year numbers, he could be a mid-to-late first-rounder in the 2021 NFL Draft.
