WIDE RECEIVERS BEST ON MEDIUM ROUTES 2028 NFL Draft

2028 WIDE RECEIVERS BEST ON MEDIUM ROUTES

Medium routes, roughly ten to twenty yards downfield, are where chain-moving receivers earn their money: digs, comebacks, deep outs and crossers against zone. The grade measures separation, catch rate and production on those targets. Reggie Wayne (Miami) and Michael Crabtree (Texas Tech) were both at their best in this range.

The table ranks this year’s draft-eligible wide receivers by medium route grade, alongside short and deep route grades, hands, blocking and overall rating.
