In extremely unsurprising news, star receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey has declared for the NFL draft.
In his junior season, DHB was arguably the team’s best player. He averaged 14.5 yards a touch and was a big-play threat every time he got the ball, which is why it’s so confounding that the risk-averse coaches didn’t get it to him more often. Anyway, we’ll see what happens now…with his speed and athleticism, DHB could be a first-round pick.
DHB has got incredible speed and great hands. He’s the kind of guy that doesn’t get a lot of national attention while in school but shows off his talents, especially the speed, in the predraft workouts. I bet he moves up the draft chart to be a mid first-rounder.
