Biggest Sleeper:  Chris Conley

Having not produced big numbers in a largely ground-oriented offense at Georgia, it’s easy to miss how talented Chris Conley really is.  The 6’3″ receiver showcased it at the combine with blazing speed and terrific athleticism.  Both of which he put on display in the preseason by averaging 11.3 yards per catch.

Rest assured Andy Reid is not going to unveil him right away, letting veteran Jeremy Maclin handle the heavy lifting early.  As the season progresses though, and defenses get banged up, don’t be surprised if he takes the training wheels off Conley with a few creative offensive packages to get the explosive rookie on the field.
