2026 NFL draft wide receiver projections: Rankings, comps - ESPN
It used to be rare for a rookie wide receiver to make a big impact, but that paradigm is clearly changing. A first-year pass catcher with 1,000 receiving yards might now be a perennial occurrence. Every NFL draft since 2019 has seen at least one wide receiver hit 1,000 yards as a rookie. (Tetairoa McMillan just hit this benchmark last year with 1,014 yards.)
