In a recent ESPN article, NFL Draft Analyst Mel Kiper Jr. listed LSU senior wide receiver D.J. Chark as his "prospect on the rise" and says he could be the "top senior receiver in this 2018 class."

Prospects on the rise

Kiper: D.J. Chark, WR, LSU


LSU has had poor quarterback play since Chark has been in school, but he's a dynamic receiver/returner who could be better in the NFL than he has been in college. He was a huge part of the Tigers' comeback win over Auburn on Saturday, with five catches for 150 yards and a 75-yard punt return for a touchdown. It was his second punt-return TD of the season. At 6-3, 195 pounds, Chark has averaged 21.1 yards per catch on his 48 career catches. He's a big-play threat, and I like the way he creates separation late in his routes. I'd like to see him consistently high-point the ball, so he's not a perfect prospect. He also lost a fumble against Auburn. Chark could end up being the top senior receiver in this 2018 class. I have him as a Day 2 pick at this point, and he could move up if he tests well.
Chark has 22 receptions for 535 yards and zero touchdown catches on the season.

He will test great. The guy runs a legit 4.3 or low 4.4

Really going out on a limb there, Mel.

And below Chark, if those knuckleheads could have gotten their minds right @ LSU: McShay: Sione Teuhema, OLB, SE Louisiana Teuhema recorded nine tackles, 5.0 TFL and 2.0 sacks in the Lions' 56-10 win over Houston Baptist. He's the Lions' second-leading tackler with 53, including 42 solo. He has compiled 14.5 TFL and 8.0 sacks on the year. A true senior, he played defensive end at LSU for two seasons before transferring following two suspensions. He appears more comfortable in his transition to outside linebacker.

Wow, we would be giving QBs hell without depending on Key. Both brothers will probably play professional football.

I would think it's also a plus for Chark that he didn't let his early fumble get him down. It motivated him to make up for it. There have been a few flashes during his career of having elite athleticism.

You’re right. I’m ashamed to admit I thought that fumble would sink us that early in the game. Fortunately, DJ reminded me that it’s a 60 minute game and redemption is sweet!

Saw Malachi on the sidelines for this game. Bet he regrets rolling out early now.
