Last week I identified wide receiver as Chicago’s biggest roster need heading into the draft, so today I want to look at wide receivers in the draft and see which ones might be a fit for this offense. I’ve done previous work looking at wide receivers Andy Reid brought in to Kansas City, where he trained Matt Nagy. When examining their Combine performance, all typically excelled at three drills:
- 40 yard dash: 4.51 seconds or better
- Vertical jump: 35.5 inches or higher
- Broad jump: 10 feet or longer
Receivers who were targeted for that offense usually hit at least 2 of those 3 thresholds, with many of them hitting all 3.
