2022 NFL Draft Player Profiles: Miami (FL) WR Charleston Rambo

From now until the 2022 NFL Draft takes place, we hope to scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top 10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, I’ll be profiling a wide receiver prospect that had his ups-and-downs with the Sooners but remade himself as a more well-rounded prospect in his lone season in South Beach.
