No. 2: Phillip Dorsett

Phillip Dorsett is the word-class sprinter type that opposing corners simply can’t run with. He’s also a good route runner so he gets darn-near five yards behind his man to make plays. Dorsett, even though only 5’10”, has shown the ability to go up and get one over an opposing corner and tracks the deep ball well too.

But it is that runaway or in his case flyaway speed that had him at 24.2 yards per catch for this year. This year was also the second year in a row that Dorsett averaged over 20 yards per catch. Cliff Branch, Desean Jackson and Mike Wallace is who he is most reminiscent of in from NFL.
