The Senior Bowl rosters are filling up quickly and have a lot of very intriguing prospects to watch.

This year’s group of wide receivers attending the Senior Bowl has some under the radar prospects. However, there are several that have a chance to sneak into the 1st round or at least outperform their draft position.

More from With the First Pick

My top rated receiver who has accepted an invite is Oklahoma State’s James Washington. He’s an aggressive player who fights through contact. This is someone who can really make an impact as a contested catch player. He his stock has flattened out a little throughout the season.

The next two guys on my list aren’t far behind Washington on my Big Board. Memphis’ Anthony Miller and Colorado State’s Michael Gallup both have a ton of talent. Miller is a smaller but quick target where Gallup brings size.

Look for Miller to get pegged as a slot receiver who can produce big plays. However, he’s a very good route runner and shows the ability to stretch the field. This is someone who can be much more than a slot receiver at the next level.

Gallup is a quick-twitch athlete capable of making plays all over the field. Colorado State has used him as a field stretcher, working across the middle and in the screen game. Gallup has the upside to be a No. 1 receiver in the NFL.

LSU’s D.J. Chark is another receiver who is among my favorite prospects. He is lightening quick with the ability to score any time he touches the football. Chark has also proven to be a weapon in the return game.

The rest of the roster features some interesting names such as Iowa State’s Allen Lazard and Oklahoma State’s Marcell Ateman. Both have had very productive college careers and have a chance to continue that at the next level.
