Top 5 wide receivers in college football for 2019

#4 Ceedee Lamb, Oklahoma

Lamb led the high-flying Big XII with 2.94 yards per route run and recorded a passer rating of 145.2 when targeted in 2018

Unlike Marquise Brown back in April, nobody should question Lamb’s size at 6’2”, close to 200 pounds. While he doesn’t have the flat-out speed of “Hollywood”, you could certainly argue that Lamb is a better all-around receiver and his speed is still plenty good.

He led the high-flying Big XII with 2.94 yards per route run and recorded a passer rating of 145.2 when targeted in 2018, while also averaging a stupid 12.7 yards per target, which manifested itself in catching 65 passes for 1158 yards and 11 touchdowns, giving him an average of 17.8 yards per catch.

What I really like about Lamb’s game are the different gears he uses on his routes and how physical he can get. He really understands how to adjust his routes on the fly in that Lincoln Riley Air-Raid system and comes back to the ball aggressively on routes along the sidelines. Not only is Lamb highly flexible and makes tough catches look easy, but he also tracks the ball and adjusts his body mid-air very well, shielding the ball from the defender’s swipes.
