Scouting Report
An impressive career at Oklahoma has Broyles headed for the NFL. His size, however, could hamper his chances at excelling. Combined with recovery from a torn ACL, Broyles' draft stock has taken a hit. He's expected to be selected in the middle to late rounds, but scouts do like a lot of his qualities. He's considered a strong route runner with an impressive work ethic. Despite his size, he's shown a willingness to go across the middle, making him a candidate to line up in the slot. Broyles topped 1,000 yards receiving in each of his last three seasons, including a career-high 1,622 with 14 touchdowns and 131 receptions as a junior. He followed that up with 83 catches for 1,157 yards and 10 scores in nine games last year before suffering the season-ending knee injury. His hands are considered among the best in the draft, but he doesn't have the breakaway speed needed to stretch the field. Some teams may see him as a project due to his injury, but his play and intensity have impressed scouts. He could be a value pick in the later rounds for a team looking for depth at wideout or an eventually dependable possession receiver.
