When it comes to top wide receivers in the Class of 2017, the conversation has to start with Donovan Peoples-Jones of Cass Tech (Detroit, Mich.).

Regarded as the top senior WR in the country by 247Sports and the No. 6 overall prospect, Peoples-Jones possesses a 42-inch vertical, can run a blazing 4.42 40-yard dash and dunk a basketball over three people like it's nothing (see that here).

The 6-foot-2, 192-pound playmaker racked up 68 catches for 1,161 yards and 18 touchdowns to lead the Technicians to the MHSAA Division 1 state final last season.
