Highlights and info on Tennessee Titans wide receiver KeVonn Mabon, an undrafted wide receiver out of Ball State. What does he bring to the table?

The Tennessee Titans didn’t shy away from adding help at the wide receiver position in the 2017 NFL Draft. They started things off by taking Western Michigan’s Corey Davis with the fifth overall selection, getting what they believe to be their new number one receiver. In the third round, they took speedy Western Kentucky stud Taywan Taylor and pass catching tight end Jonnu Smith.

On the undrafted free agent heap, they picked up an interesting big bodied receiver in Ball State’s KeVonn Mabon, whose highlight reel speaks for itself:

Mabon checked in at the Ball State pro day at 6-1, 212 pounds, looking more like a running back than a wide receiver. Watching his highlight reel, it’s clear that Mabon has the instincts of a running back after the catch and the ability to win with short-area quickness and strong hands.

He’s not the fastest (4.66 in the 40-yard dash) and not the most explosive athlete (31.5 inch vertical jump) but his three-cone time of 6.91 was solid and Mabon is getting a shot to prove he belongs with the Tennessee Titans, who suddenly have a lot of interesting young players at the wide receiver position.

Mabon will have to prove he can consistently make the big plays we saw on that highlight reel to stick with the Titans or any NFL team, for that matter. He’s an interesting player with a variety of skills, including kick return ability.

While at Ball State, he was a three-time All-MAC selection and led the conference with 27.2 yards per kickoff return in 2015. He totaled over 1,000 yards from scrimmage for the first time in his collegiate career this past year, and ended his Ball State career with 244 receptions, including 85 this past season.

He’ll provide some additional intrigue for the Titans into training camp and the preseason, and is a name to monitor if he stays healthy.
