2021 NFL Draft: Underrated wide receivers who could rise through process

Tamorrion Terry, Florida State*

Now you might be wondering why there is an astrict on Florida State’s pass-catcher, Tamorrion Terry. Terry does have another year of eligibility so he could go back to school. Although Terry could go back to school the 6-foot-4 pass-catcher has a lot of value and could rise draft boards or be a value pick in the middle rounds.

Terry did not have as big of a year statistic-wise, mostly due to the shorter season, but he put up 1,188 yards in 2019 with nine touchdowns. Even though the production was not as high this year he still had close to the same amount of touchdowns with eight.

Tamorrion Terry is a big receiver that brings constant matchup problems on the field. One of Terry’s weaknesses is his catching ability, where he has shown some periods of drops. Although with having such a big frame and athletic ability if he can improve his 2021 NFL Draft stock. Terry may have all the tools just off of size and skill alone to be a late first to early second, but I think Terry could be a nice value pick in the middle rounds.

Shi Smith, South Carolina

The pass-catcher out of USC of the South is a prospect that could rise draft boards over time. Shi Smith is a quick, versatile receiver who could line up in the slot and go outside and make plays. Smith stands at 5-foot-10 and weighing around 190, Smith has great speed and is an interesting player in the 2021 NFL Draft class.

Shi Smith gets great separation in his routes and always seemed to be open for the Gamecocks. Where Smith showed separation in the open field he also can go up and make some great 50/50 grabs. This past season Smith collected 57 grabs for 633 yards and four touchdowns. Shi Smith made big plays all year and may have made the catch of the day Tuesday at the Senior Bowl.
