23. Jaelen Strong, WR (ASU)
Strong is a very good big play receiver. He has the ability to go up and make unbelievable catches. Strong has a career average of 14.6 yards per reception in two seasons with the Arizona State Sun Devils.
Strong was a very productive receiver. The 6-4 212 pound receiver had 75 receptions for 1,122 yards and 7 touchdowns in 2013. In 2014 he had 82 receptions for 1,165 yards and 10 touchdowns.
The knock on Strong is that he is not a great route runner. But his athletic ability jumps out at you. He ran a 4.44 second 40 yard dash, and had an insane 42 inch vertical jump at the NFL combine.
Strong is a go to receiver that can make the plays that leave you asking if he is a magician or a football player. He will quickly become a fan favorite with the team he is drafted by.
