CBS Analyst Calls Ladd McConkey "The Most Underrated Receiver" in This Year's Draft

See which CBS analyst believes that Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey is one of the most underrated players in this year’s NFL Draft.
It’s no secret to the faithful fans of Georgia football that wide receiver Ladd McConkey is an elite playmaker with abilities that could make him one of the greats in the NFL. But for many fans of the NFL, McConkey’s name is still somewhat of a secret.
But while the name McConkey may not excite NFL fans the way “Marvin Harrison Jr.” or “Malik Nabers” would. Ryan Wilson, an analyst at CBS Sports believes that McConkey is a bona fide talent in this year’s draft that is being wrongfully overlooked by many.
Wilson claimed that the Georgia receiver is the most underrated receiver in this year’s NFL Draft and that he believes that McConkey could even sneak into the first round should a team such as the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills see his potential.
