Unveiling the Speed Demons: NFL Draft's Top Wide Receivers Set to Outpace Defenders
2. Tre Harris, Ole Miss (71.8%)
Harris is a standout in one of our metrics in particular: burn yards per route run. He averaged 6.2, nearly double the average of the top seven wide receiver prospects. Harris ran 192 routes in 2024 and posted 56 burns of defenders, getting himself an average of 6.2 âburn yardsâ for each route. Itâs a way of saying that when Harris burned his man, he turned it into a lot of yards.
Howâd he do that? Harris averaged 7.9 yards after the catch, easily the highest of these wideouts. I think thatâs mostly because of how open Lane Kiffin and Co. managed to get him.
