9. Chatarius “Tutu” Atwell – Louisville

Continuing a growing theme of versatile receiver prospects, Louisville’s “Tutu” Atwell is an exciting second-day prospect for the 2021 NFL Draft. Like Toney and Moore on this list, Atwell appears headed for the slot early on but can be used many ways on offense and special teams.

Possessing video game-type agility and movement skills, Atwell will be an exciting piece for some NFL offensive coordinator in 2021. Atwell is a similar player to former West Virginia great Tavon Austin and can be used as a third-down back and starting slot receiver right away.

10. Amon-Ra St. Brown – USC

As the brother of current Packers’ receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, Amon-Ra is a former top high school recruit with no shortage of talent as he enters the NFL. A big slot receiver at 6-foot-1, St. Brown has improved his touchdown production each year at USC. St. Brown has done so despite questionable play at the QB position for the Trojans.

He has number-one receiver ability, size, and work ethic but his body of work was limited by his college offenses and having to share targets with fellow prospect Tyler Vaughns in 2020 and current Indianapolis Colts’ receiver Michael Pittman in 2019. His skillset and concentration should earn him a starting spot sooner than later on an NFL team.
