Lil’Jordan Humphrey, WR, Texas

Lil’Jordan Humphrey was one of the most productive receivers on one of the biggest college football programs in the country, but went undrafted due to his athletic limitations. While his speed and inability to separate are certainly cause for concern, there is plenty to like about Humphrey’s game.

Humphrey played primarily in the slot with the Longhorns, and if he can stick around with the Saints, that’s where he will likely find success in the NFL as well.

He is a big-bodied receiver who can use that size to position himself inside to make plays and once the ball is in his hands, he’s difficult to bring down.

He’s slippery for a bigger guy and is not one to shy away from contact either, so defenders need to bring their lunch pail when they’re lining up Humphrey.

While he does have a lot to prove to make this team, Humphrey has such an intriguing game that could add another dimension to an offense that loves to incorporate shiny new weapons.
