Entered the draft after his redshirt sophomore season...One of the most prolific receivers in the history of college football...Actually played quarterback in high school...Became the first two-time winner of the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's best wideout (2007 and 2008)...Led the nation in receptions (134), receiving yards (1,962) and touchdowns (all NCAA freshman records) in 2007 and was a consensus All-American...Named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2007...Also earned numerous All-American honors in 2008...Played with an ankle injury in '08...During the Scouting Combine medical exams doctors discovered a stress fracture in his left foot, which required surgery and 6-10 weeks of rehabilitation, and as a result he will be unable to work out for teams prior to the draft...Has just about everything you look for except elite speed...A sure-fire Top 10 pick who profiles as a legitimate #1 wide receiver at the next level.
