Oklahoma State Cowboys vs. Oklahoma Sooners: 2020 NFL Draft prospects to watch
By Joseph Yun
1 Jalen Hurts 6’2 218 QB Senior
Hurts is an interesting prospect that has played himself into at least a first round pick after a somewhat middling career at Alabama fundamentally speaking. At Oklahoma, he’s shown good development of progression that he showed flashes of while with the Crimson Tide. He’s a good athlete with a good enough arm to make the big league throws. He’s had some turnover issues as some were inexplicable ones with him just dropping the ball. Character and work ethic are huge pluses in his game.

2 Ceedee Lamb 6’2 189 WR Junior
Lamb is one of the best receivers in the nation. He has elite ball skills and is excellent with the ball in his hands. Has that Barry Sanders make you miss agility and then some. He possesses great footwork and sets up his defender well on the shorter routes. The frame might be an issue at the next level but not much of one. A master at the nine routes. Electric dynamism in the vein of a Percy Harvin but bigger.
56 Creed Humphrey 6’5 316 IOL RS Sophomore
The starter at center for the past couple of seasons for the Sooners but he can play guard if necessary. Has the right attitude and temperament to play inside. A nasty road grading type without the length to play tackle. Not the best athlete so he might be limited at just being a center. It remains to be seen if he declares for the draft or comes back for another season in Norman.
14 Charleston Rambo 6’1 180 WR RS Sophmore
Rambo has been a sensation for the Sooners in 2019 after playing a limited role last season with better receivers ahead of them. The elite speed that burns even the fastest of secondaries. He’s a deep ball specialist but a sublime route runner to scheme himself open. Lateral agility is just amazing to watch. The frame is an interesting question so he really needs a year of solid NFL strength and conditioning.
