WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.VA. — The 2014 NFL draft was full of impressive receivers.

Of the players who ranked in the top seven in receiving yards in the FBS in 2013, six went in the first two rounds of the draft — Brandin Cooks, Davante Adams, Jordan Matthews, Sammy Watkins, Allen Robinson and Mike Evans. Teams deemed six other receivers worthy of first- or second-round picks, too, including LSU's Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry.

Then, there was Willie Snead, a Ball State standout who ranked third in the country with 1,516 yards that year.
