That is a gamble if he did indeed receive a 3rd to 6th round projection.

Dynamic Texas WR Lil’Jordan Humphrey declares for the 2019 NFL Draft

The Texas Longhorns will enter the 2019 season without one one of their biggest threats, as leading receiver Lil’Jordan Humphrey announced on Tuesday that he will forgo his senior season and enter the 2019 NFL Draft:

Prior to the Sugar Bowl, Humphrey was quiet about his evaluation from the Draft Advisory Committee, but shortly after the game 247Sports reported that he received a “third to sixth round NFL Draft projection.” Typically that projection is considered a “return to school” grade, but Humphrey decided he was ready for the NFL.

This dude is going to shoot up boards after the combine and people view his tape. He is one of the most clutch receivers in college football. I think he'll test far better than Collin Johnson and may in fact surpass him as a prospect.

Would be thrilled with him in the late 2nd round.

 

[CATCH17]

Would be thrilled with him in the late 2nd round.

He's gotta be a first rounder. Total stud.

He's a much better prospect then Johnson.

Johnson is a 1 trick pony I think. Just a jump ball guy.

I would take Humphrey over the first round WR's last year.

Somehow I misread these posts as “Calvin Johnson” and was about to go ham in this chat.

He's not a 1st round WR folks stop it. He'll be late 2nd/early 3rd round pick.

 

[CATCH17]

We'll see.

He's 6'4 225 and an absolute playmaker.

I think he's a better prospect then any WR taken last year.

A bad 40 is the only thing that could hold him back.

I think he'll be a decent possession WR.

Even if he's only a 3rd rounder, he signs a 4 year deal for 2-3 million. While not much by NFL standards, its still a lot of money. Plus, he can finally capitalize on his Texas Longhorn fame and maybe do some local endorsements......... appearance fees to show up at Longhorn events ect. If you can land an NFL contract, there is very little downside.

I think folks are severely overrating Humphrey.

 

[Hardline]

I think folks are severely overrating Humphrey.

I watched his entire college career. He's as advertised.

 

[StarHead69]

I watched his entire college career. He's as advertised.

So did I. He’s the kind of guy you want on your team. Perfect safety valve type with a big catch radius and zero fear. He’s a beast and would bring some much needed toughness to our receiving corps.

This young many took a gamble and didn't get the result he wanted. He was signed by the Saints as a UDFA, but that is not the same financial security as being a 3rd rounder. Maybe Sean Payton can get similar results out of Humphrey as he did with another big, less than speedy receiver in Marques Colston. Although Colston did have a faster 40 time that those posted by Humphrey.

 

[Sydla]

Sooooooo.

This was a wise decision.

He went to the right coach

If he has the talent a desire, Payton will make it work

Was he that “impact player” we should have taken in the 4th round?

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

Seems like the entire league agreed with me.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

He's gotta be a first rounder. Total stud.

He’s just gotta be.

Luulz.

 

[Hardline]

He outplayed Colin Johnson and he was drafted.
I am rarely wrong. Enjoy it.
