There are a lot of solid rookie wide receivers in this year's NFL draft and after the combine, we just got a whole lot more. Because in this video, we're going to break down these seven wide receivers who are skyrocketing up draft boards after what they just did at the NFL combine. And if you've been paying attention at all, you know that this guy was going to have to be in this video and he deserves to be the first player that we talk about in Jeff Caldwell out of Cincinnati for

multiple reasons. All right, for starters, he's six foot five. Most wide receivers in the NFL,

anywhere between six foot, maybe six three or six four, six foot five. So we're talking like that

T. Higgins type build at 216 pounds. But the most impressive a part about all of this, at that height and weight, he runs a

4-3-140 time, 99th percentile 40, 100th percentile, meaning one of the best of all time.

Actually, his speed score, in terms of looking at your height, your weight, and your speed that you

ended up running the 40 at the NFL Combine, second best for a wide receiver

that ever attended the Combine.

He had the fastest 40 amongst all the wide receivers, and he had the fastest 10-yard split, his get-off-the-line-of-scrimmage-type speed amongst any single player at the Combine across all positions. So it's one thing to be 6'5, 216 pounds, and run this fast, but then he also brought to the table insane jumping ability his burst at the combine.

Because his burst score, according to player profiler, 90s. 16 pounds and run this fast, but then he also brought to the table insane jumping ability,

his burst at the combine. Because his burst score, according to player profiler, 99th percentile,

this factors in your broad and your vertical jump. He was second amongst all of the wide receivers

at the NFL combine in his vertical jump and second as well in the broad jump. So this is the most

athletic wide receiver in this draft. So all of those things are pros. His testing ability is why he's rising up the draft boards after his NFL combine. But there are a lot of downsides to the profile of Jeff Caldwell. And there's a reason why you probably never heard of this guy unless you're a fan of Cincinnati football. Now the biggest reasons is his production. So for Raz, relative athletic score, he scored a perfect 10. This is rare that this happens. We had two this year at these skill positions, a 10 for Mike Washington. We talked about in the running back version of this video. So that's fantastic. We know that this guy is an elite athlete, number one at the 2026 Combine and Wide Receiver Rink. But the problem, as you can see right here on NFL.com, his production score,

how he produced in college in this class ranks 27th. 27th is pretty bad when there's only going to

probably be somewhere in the mid-20s in wide receivers drafted this year in the NFL draft.

And the reason why his production score was so bad is because he went to Linden, Linden High School,

so a small school or college, Linden College,

a small school his first three years. He did break out in 2024 with 12 games played,

53 catches for over 1,000 yards. So that was good to see that he finally broke out in his

third year at a small school, but then he ends up transferring to Cincinnati, and he doesn't

do much. Only catches 32 balls on 61 targets, so barely a 50% catch rate, doesn't top 500 yards. Now, part of this is the fact that he's not playing on like the greatest team in the country with the greatest quarterback play, but at the end of the day, he was kind of like an afterthought in this offense. There wasn't much production there. He probably would have been an undrafted at best seventh round pick in the draft if he didn't come out and test so great. But now, most likely he's going to go a little higher. Now, we don't have a big sample of him facing good competition because his first three years are out of very small school. And then this past year, when he actually faced some good competition, it wasn't great. A 14th ranked Iowa State, one catch for 21 yards. Utah, 24th ranked, one catch for 11 yards.
