The Cleveland Browns selected four wide receivers during the 2016 NFL Draft, setting up what should be a key position battle in training camp.
One of the participants in that battle will be former UCLA wide receiver Jordan Payton.
The 6-foot-1, 207-pound Payton is the Bruins’ all-time leader in receptions with 201. During the past two seasons he had 145 total receptions for 2,059 yards and 12 touchdowns. He was also the second-highest graded wide receiver in the draft class, according to Pro Football Focus, which wrote that:
It’s tough to identify anything he does that’s special, but equally difficult to identify holes in his game, and at this point in the draft he’s a solid option.
