Round 3

You know the name.  You know his talent.  You know that he is a superstar in the making.

When Ohio State wide receiver Terry McLaurin was chosen in the third round, many fans knew very little about him and they were surprised at the choice.  McLaurin quickly erased all doubts and, quite honestly, he has a legitimate chance to make his mark as one of the finest receivers in team history.

McLaurin could elevate himself to elite status as soon as this season.  The quarterback dilemma is much more stable now and this former Buckeye is likely ready to begin his assault on the WFT record books.

One item of note:  McLaurin did miss the two games of his rookie season with minor injuries, so that prevents the score from being perfect.
