Unveiling the Speed Demons: NFL Draft's Top Wide Receivers Set to Outpace Defenders
McMillan’s 71.4% open rate is the lowest of this group, but no serious person thinks that’s because McMillan can’t get open. Once he had the ball in his hands, he averaged 0.286 missed or broken tackles forced per touch, only trailing the next two players in this ranking.
I wouldn’t worry much about the lackluster burn rate; he still finished with the fifth-most total burns in the FBS.
6. Travis Hunter, Colorado (60.2%)
Hunter may or may not play wide receiver in the NFL, and his two-way workload in college makes him an apples-to-oranges comparison to everyone else on this list. Hunter was a great college receiver and won the Biletnikoff Award in 2024, but I think his cornerback exploits and general Superman vibe made a few people overstate his pure wide receiver game just a bit.
