Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, MarylandMeasurables:
Combine height: 6-1 5/8
Combine weight: 210 pounds
Combine 40 time: 4.30 seconds

Stats:
Heyward-Bey’s final season at Maryland was actually his least productive as he caught 42 balls for 609 yards and five touchdowns, with another 220 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. For his Terrapin career Heyward-Bey recorded 138 receptions for 2,089 yards and 13 touchdowns, with 25 carries for 344 yards and two touchdowns.

Skill Set:
Four. Three. Oh. Those are the numbers that will make Heyward-Bey a first-round pick and perhaps even the first receiver off the board, and they correspond to his 40 time at the Combine. Heyward-Bey has also translated his straight-line speed onto the field as a legitimate deep threat; he is also capable of making moves at top speed, hitting a seam in the defense and going the distance. Heyward-Bey’s prototypical size also helps him win battles against opposing defenders, though more through his athleticism and leaping ability than by overpowering corners.
