K.J. Duff Creating Buzz

Many NFL scouts were in attendance for the Personnel and Recruiting Symposium in Nashville, Tennessee, this week. While it is too early in the draft process for players to be rising with pro teams, one receiver who had some positive things about him according to multiple team sources was Rutgers wide receiver K.J. Duff.

 

The preseason measurables on Duff are special. The advance scouts have him listed at 6-foot-5, 225 pounds with a projected 40 time around 4.5 seconds. His speed and size translated to being a chunk-producing receiver in 2025 with an average of 18.1 yards per catch. Duff totaled 60 receptions for 1,084 yards with seven touchdowns. Rutgers fought hard to keep Duff from leaving, and sources say they think Rutgers paid upwards of $3 million to get Duff back in 2026.
