1. Missouri image Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
Height: 5-11. Weight: 208.
Projected 40 Time: 4.44.
Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

7/1/24: Burden played really well as a sophomore, putting up 86 receptions for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns in 2023. As a freshman, he flashed with 45 catches for 375 yards and six scores. He also ran the ball somewhat that season, averaging 4.9 yards per carry and scoring two touchdowns. Burden is a gritty and effective receiver with playmaking speed and advanced route-running.



2. Arizona image Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona
Height: 6-5. Weight: 210.
Projected 40 Time: 4.52.
Projected Round (2025): 1-2.

7/1/24: Arizona had an impressive 2023 season while featuring a dangerous passing attack. Wide receiver Jacob Cowing was a known factor for 2023, but McMillan emerged as a playmaker that season. The sophomore caught 90 passes on the year for 1,402 yards and 10 touchdowns. McMillan notched 39 catches for 702 yards and eight scores as a freshman. The 6-foot-5, 210-pounder McMillan has mismatch size for the NFL.



3. Oklahoma image Nic Anderson, WR, Oklahoma
Height: 6-4. Weight: 209.
Projected 40 Time: 4.50.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: The 6-foot-4, 209-pound Anderson showed that he was scratching the surface of his potential in 2023. As a redshirt freshman, Anderson caught 38 passes for 798 yards and 10 touchdowns. That made for a superb average of 21 yards per catch. Anderson has mismatch size and upside to be better as he gains experience.



4. Oregon image Evan Stewart, WR, Oregon
Height: 6-0. Weight: 175.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.

7/1/24: Stewart did not have a prolific season in two years with Texas A&M, but he flashed the ability to make plays. In 2023 Stewart caught 38 passes for 514 yards and four touchdowns. After the season, he transferred to Oregon and could explode with the Ducks.



5. Florida image Tre Wilson*, WR, Florida
Height: 6-1. Weight: 205.
Projected 40 Time: 4.45.
Projected Round (2025): 1-3.
