NFL Comparisons for Top 2015 Receiver Prospects

The NFL Network draft analyst has shared his top 50 draft prospects prior to the 2015 Scouting Combine.

No two prospects are the same, and in many cases, no two scouts see a prospect the same way.

With the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine behind us, we compiled a list of who experts are reminded of when they watch the top wide receivers in this year's draft class.

Many prospects drew comparisons to some of the biggest play-makers in the game. And with San Francisco 49ers general manager Trent Baalke eyeing wideouts who can "run and get down the field," it's important to see who the best young talent most resembles.

For this article, we cited reports from ESPN, NFL.com, CBSSports and a video series by former NFL scout Bucky Brooks.
