Conley played college ball for the University of Georgia. Despite being a freakish athlete, he never put up the eye popping numbers you’d expect. His best year was his senior year where he hauled in 36 catches for 657 yards and eight touchdowns. Those numbers are good, but for a 6-foot-3 receiver who runs a 4.35 in the 40-yard dash you expect more.
Conley went to the combine and was the breakout star. His athleticism was on full display and impressed teams. When combined with his stats though he got tagged with being just a “workout warrior”. Without the game day numbers to go with his combine numbers, Conley fell to the 3rd round in the draft.
