After a dominant performance in the Citrus Bowl against Florida in 2015, Chesson lost some of his mojo due to a knee injury suffered during the game.

As a junior, he racked up 50 catches for 764 yards and nine touchdowns. After Michigan’s quarterback Jake Rudock left and Wilton Speight took over the throne in 2016, Chesson struggled to mesh with the new QB and ultimately suffered the consequences.

According to NFL draft profiles Chesson is, “Angular, but features NFL size and plus catch radius. Foot quickness considered adequate. Ball tracker with good concentration. Feasts on combat catches in a crowd.”

With the addition of Brandon Marshall, Chesson could add depth behind the former Jet, as his catching ability is solid and can make tough grabs in traffic. He has been compared to Brian Quick, and if the Giants can snatch him up in the later rounds he could offer more than expected.
