2025 NFL Combine: Ranking Tetairoa McMillan and the top five prospects at wide receiver ahead of the combine

Standing at a massive 6'5 McMillan is a physically imposing receiver with an impressive catch radius and a knack for hauling in tough, contested grabs.

He'll be a reliable option for any quarterback, excelling in winning 50-50 jump balls and posing a significant threat in the red zone. McMillan has also shown great instincts and the ability to feel when he needs to adjust his routes in order to help his quarterback when the play breaks down.

In 2024, McMillan recorded 84 receptions for 1,319 yards and eight touchdowns.

Luther Burden is a tough, savvy receiver with explosive speed and polished route-running skills. His quickness and ability to rack up yards after the catch will undoubtedly catch the attention of NFL scouts.

Known for his grit, Burden thrives in tight coverage and is the kind of player teams will want to get involved early—whether through quick passes or creative play designs—to let him make plays in space.

While his receiving yards dipped to 676 in 2024 after racking up 1,212 in 2023, much of that drop-off can be attributed to inconsistent quarterback play.

Emeka Egbuka hauled in 81 receptions for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns, bouncing back to form after injuries hampered his 2023 season.

Known for his solid speed and sharp route-running, Egbuka is a versatile weapon, capable of lining up both inside and outside during his time with Ohio State.

While he doesn't possess blazing acceleration, his knack for finding gaps in coverage and securing tough, contested catches makes him an ideal fit in the slot. Despite stiff competition in the Buckeyes’ stacked receiving corps, Egbuka still managed to put up impressive numbers, proving his reliability as a go-to target.

Untapped potential—that's how many NFL scouts characterize Bond. Despite recording just 99 receptions over three seasons at Texas, his background as a high school state sprint champion hints at his elite speed.

He's expected to be among the fastest prospects at next week's NFL Combine and could become a game-breaking threat in the right offensive system. Team insiders believe he holds late first-round to early second-round value heading into the draft.

Ole Miss had gained a reputation for producing high-level wide receivers over the years and Harris appears to be the next Rebel poised to make an impact in the NFL.

Harris is listed at 6'3, 210 pounds and recorded 60 receptions, 1,030 yards, and seven touchdowns.

He has primarily beaten defenders by using his speed to get over the top and make plays at the third level, or use his size to his advantage on shorter routes in the first level by mixing a barrage of hitches and slants with go routes and posts.

Harris still needs to improve his overall route running and ability to haul in contested catches if he is going to take his game to the next level in the NFL but still projects as a solid No. 2 WR in most offenses.

The Heisman Trophy-winning two-way standout is a smooth route-runner who effortlessly generates separation at the top of his routes. He boasts exceptional ball skills, routinely making difficult grabs look effortless.

This past season with the Buffaloes, he hauled in 96 receptions for 1,258 yards, averaging 13.1 yards per catch, and found the end zone 15 times.

Even though he has the ability to line up at wide receiver, Hunter is currently projected to play and workout out primarily as a cornerback and his offensive particpation will likely be limited to specific packages as he adjust to being in the NFL and carves out a role.

No one truly knows his full potential at either position because he's spent his time playing both ways consistently.

The NFL Combine will offer him a golden opportunity to display his skills on both offense and defense, possibly clocking a sub-4.3 time in the 40-yard dash. It could also help him decide whether to focus on one side of the ball permanently. Depending on how he performs in the drills, he could solidify his case as the top overall pick or slide as low as fifth.
