Experts will say that the 2016 draft is not a deep draft for wide receiver talent. Try telling that to the defensive backs who tried to cover Notre Dame receiver Will Fuller this year.

Known for his speed and ability to make the big play, Fuller could make an immediate impact at the pro level, according to some experts. Although at 6 feet tall, he is not a big receiver. But he has the ability to make separation downfield.

That was the type of talent he displayed at Roman Catholic (Philadelphia) in high school. With 2,380 yards receiving in his career, Fuller is regarded as one of the top receivers in Philadelphia history. That's high praise considering Fuller came from the same high school as Hall of Fame receiver Marvin Harrison.



At Notre Dame, Fuller led the Fighting Irish last year 62 catches for 1,258 yards and 14 touchdowns last year. He had the fastest 40-yard dash time at the combine with a time of 4.28 seconds, and the the latest CBS Sports mock draft boards have two of five experts saying he will go in the first round to the Houston Texans with the No. 22 pick. The other three experts have him going in the second round.
