I'm going with Drake London.
I just listened to an interview with him with Robert Mays.
First of all, just like so smart, so calculated, like just an awesome, awesome player.
Yeah, it's what happens when you s- go learn from University of Southern California.
Not everyone that comes from there is so articulate, but you know, it happens.
Well, neither am I. But- Well- Drake London has been the wide receiver five since, I, I don't know if you're talking about Mark Sanchez.
There's some other ones, you know, that it hasn't been exactly clean out of USC recently.
He's been the wide receiver five since 2024, you know?
That's pretty good.
That's on wide receiver five usage.
Last year he obviously dealt with that PCL injury.
Everything seems like he's in good shape.
Only Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase have had a higher target share over that span.
They're adding Zachariah Branch, a former Trojan himself.
Jahan Dotson, Ole Miss' Zaccheaus.
I mean, it's just gonna be all Drake London here.
I think that too was a good fit for Drake London.
He got-- He made it work with Michael Penix still, and then I think Kevin Stefanski is smart enough to keep Drake London in the slot where he absolutely started cooking everybody.
I have a feeling you're gonna be one spot ahead of me on like the next 10 players.
I have Drake London at 20th overall.
Yeah.
Finished as the wide receiver seven last year.
That was next to the running back three in points per game on a team that was 23rd in points.
They're projected for the same exact area this year, albeit a ton of turnover on this team with coaches and quarterbacks.
About 25th in points.
So I'm excited to see what Stefanski does in terms of using him in tandem with Kal Pitts because Drake London was, has been so good when he's been in the slot.
Like when he's in the slot, he is getting the football, and it goes for a first down or a touchdown, and it's, it is awesome stuff.
But that might only be about 30% of his snaps.
But yeah, I mean, you, you can really work one side of the field with him and Kal Pitts at a really high level- Yeah and then kind of forget about all the other guys that, that you mentioned and, and go from there.
