Most people are going to say "who?" because they haven't watched UK play this year but the former Iowa basketball player who played sparingly last year and starts this year has one of the more incredible stat lines I've ever seen.

14 targets
7 Pass Interference flags drawn
6 catches for 128 yards and 1 TD

Literally half of his targets have resulted in a PI call .

Per his bio he was targeted 4 times last year and drew 3 PI calls.

If Denver can snag this guy in the 7th round Flacco is never gonna have to complete another pass again.

That's means he cant get separation. But sounds like he catches anything near him

At 6'5 234 he doesn't need much separation.

Let’s see, according to the thread title he is a receiver who plays for UK. Try to keep up.

I have seen him drop like 1 pass on 4 years. If the ball is in the same area code as him, he will be bringing it down.


Thankfully we only throw it to him 4-5 times per game

Chase Marshall - 10 targets, 10 catches - says, "hole my beer."

I believe if you want someone to hole your beer, you’re looking for Tennessee.

Eh, hard to get separation with a guy draped over you.

It’s as simple as he’s a big, easy target with reliable hands and it’s either give up the PI or the TD.

ETA: And that’s Mr. Flagner, OP

The legend of Ahmad Flagner gets even better if you add in his 2019 stats

"It was also the first career touchdown for the former Iowa power forward, who drew one of three defensive pass interference penalties on the night but caught the jump ball at the 35-yard line and raced down the sideline to the end zone. Wagner has now drawn eight career pass interference penalties and five in two games this season to go along with five receptions for 128 yards."



He'll likely never be a burner but he could become a great throw it up 50/50 guy.

Hammond did not drop a pass last year and hasn't this year as well

Is CJ Henderson still likely out for Florida?

Dude looks legit, but I think Jeudy or Waddle would fit this bill. Both of those guys are basically guaranteed to get you 10+ yards after the catch every time they touch the football. Jeudy has 18 catches for 240 yards and 4 tds and he has 3 other first round picks taking targets from him as well.

Dude is probably the best WR since DeAndre Hopkins.

Yea he is still doubtful. We shall see. Have a lot of talent back there but it's all young besides Wilson

Interesting. I don't know if he's the "most reliable WR in the country" but he certainly sounds like a bit of a matchup challenge. It'll be interesting to see if UF just sticks Wilson on him full time or go zone.

He is perhaps the tallest WR in the country. Should get thrown to a lot.
