2016 NFL Draft Range:

Mid-first round – Early second round

The TCU product earned All-American honors in 2015 and was a 2015 Fred Biletnikoff Award finalist for being one of the nation’s top wide receivers.

Doctson’s strong hands and play-making ability are essential to being a successful wide receiver in the NFL. His usage on the field (36.5 target percentage) helps his stock as a lead receiver while he’s also considered the best “go-get-it” wideout in this years draft class with his swift body control mid-air and excellent timing.

The former Horned Frog shined at the 2016 NFL Combine, finding himself atop the leader boards for numerous events. Doctson led all wide receivers at the 2016 NFL Combine in the vertical jump (41 inches), ranked No. 2 in the broad jump (10-feet-11-inches) , and finished No. 3 in both the 20-yard (4.08 seconds) and 60-yard (11.06 seconds) shuttle.

Playing with quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Trevone Boykin at TCU helped Doctson’s progress as a true prospect and also prepared him for the NFL as they played in a high-powered offense.

In 2015, Doctson set the single-season school record with 79 receptions that went for 1,337 yards and 14 touchdowns, despite only playing in 11 games due to a wrist injury. The All-American receiver finished his career at TCU as the all-time leader for reception touchdowns and is No. 2 for receptions and reception yards.

Another statistic that makes Doctson so intriguing is he averages 4.07 yards per route ran. That’s good for best in the country, according to Pro Football Focus.

His performance on the field against defensive backs speaks for itself, however the pure natural ability to blow past the opponent upon hand contact is quite impressive while his jump ball capabilities are highlighted against any defensive back, no matter the size.
