Antonio Gandy-Golden and 15 UTR Philadelphia Eagles WR draft targets
The SEC consistently puts top-tier talent in the NFL, and if anyone’s looking to dig a little deeper than just looking at the obvious stars of this season’s draft class, they’ll find a few hidden gems like Tyrie Cleveland of the Florida Gators.
In 2019, Cleveland tallied 25 catches for 351 yards and a touchdown which doesn’t sound very impressive on the surface, but any Gators fan will tell you that those numbers have more to do with the depth Florida had at wide receiver than any question that they could possibly have about his ability. Still, the facts are the facts.
As the Gators added more talent on the outside, Cleveland fell on the depth chart, so it’s completely reasonable to ask if he can beat out the talent that already exists at the next level.
When his career in ‘The Swamp’ had reached its end, Cleveland hauled in 79 receptions for 1,271 yards and eight touchdowns in 40 career games. He’s six-foot-two. He weighs 205 pounds, and he’s a speedster. He’s one of those guys that has a high chance of running the 40 in 4.5 seconds or less.
Isaiah Hodgins is a six-foot-four, 209-pound standout from the Oregon State Beavers (Isaac Seumalo’s former squad). He declared for the draft after his junior season, but he has some worried about his speed. A solid 40-yard dash time and a productive NFL Combine showing could help improve his draft stock.
As far as his measurables go, he’s a six-foot-four, 209-pound prospect that registered 86 receptions for 1,172 yards and 13 touchdowns in his final season at the collegiate level. Look for him to come off of draft boards on Day 3.
