After another strong year, Western Kentucky Hilltopper Malachi Corley could find himself as one of the first prospects from the Group of Five selected in this year's NFL Draft. 

This week, The Athletic's Nick Baumgardner published his predictions for the first three rounds of the 2024 NFL Draft. Baumgardner placed Corley at the #43 overall selection (the 11th pick of the second round) going to the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta missed the 2023 NFL postseason with a record of 7-10. Atlanta did not have a 1,000-yard receiver in 2023 or 2022.

In the last two years with the Tops' offense in Bowling Green, Corley racked up 180 receptions for over 2,200 yards and 20 touchdowns. He was an All-CUSA pick in both of those seasons.

The 2024 NFL Draft is set for April 25-27 in Detroit, Michigan.
