Unveiling the Speed Demons: NFL Draft's Top Wide Receivers Set to Outpace Defenders
Egbukaâs reliability (just two drops) and propensity to run closer-in polished routes led to him posting a slightly higher target share (28.9%) than Smith, something that might surprise even people who watched a lot of Buckeyes games during their run to the national championship. Egbuka was open on 80.6% of his targets. Smith, getting more attention, was open on just 69.5% of his.
All of that raises interesting questions about what Egbukaâs life will be like in the NFL. Egbuka is not a classically sized slot receiver at 6-foot-1, 202 pounds, nor is he a downfield burner who will run past everybody. He is, however, a producer, and some team should find a wise way to deploy him.
