K.D. Cannon, wide receiver, Baylor
K.D. Cannon had a really nice career at Baylor, and he’ll intrigue many NFL scouts because of his speed and big-play ability. In three seasons, he caught 195 passes for 3,113 yards and 27 touchdowns, including 13 touchdowns in 2016.
This NFL draft class is extremely deep at wideout, though, which has pushed Cannon way down the big board. He also has a few things to prove to scouts, the biggest being that he’s more than just a system player.
Baylor’s offensive system is known for putting up yards and points. Was Cannon just a product of that system? He’ll need to convince scouts that his athleticism, speed and ability to catch big passes can translate to the NFL.
