After Fleming the next two best receivers I saw were his fellow Ohio State signee Jaxon Smith-Njigba and LSU signee Kayshon Boutte.

Smith-Njigba had a ridiculous senior season with 2,132 yards and 34 touchdowns in 6A Texas high school football. He was arguably the best wide receiver nationally during the high school season and continued to look like it in All-American Bowl practices before going down with a leg injury mid-week. I could count on one hand the times I saw the Ohio State pledge effectively covered over the course of the week. His burst off the line, ability to separate within different levels of his routes while also winning at the catch point with the ability to make acrobatic adjustments in-air. Smith-Njigba runs with outstanding body lean with his shoulders over his pads, making it tough for defensive backs to get a read on his intent. The pace within his routes is exceptional. He also had some of, if not the most reliable hands I saw during the week. For my money, he is currently the most skilled wide receiver in the 2020 cycle and looks to be the most ready to contribute next season. There isn’t a discernible weakness to Smith-Njigba’s game and he’s among up there with Calvin Ridley as one of the most polished receivers I’ve seen in an all-star setting.
