65. Jaydon Mickens

Mickens is a dynamic wide receiver that is very exciting to watch. He’s lightning quick — his 3-cone drill at his Pro Day would have been second best amongst all WR’s at the NFL Combine.

You probably already guessed it, but Mickens also has experience as a kick returner.

His athleticism makes him dangerous once the ball is in his hands, as he’s electric in the open field. It’s just a matter of getting him the ball. Mickens needs to expand his route tree and refine his route running in general, and his hands are inconsistent.

Mickens is also only 5’11”, 170 lbs., so his size works against him.
