Receivers block on every run play and most screens, and the grade here scores how well they do it: sustaining a stalk block on a corner, cracking a safety, and finishing rather than turning to watch. It is a small part of a receiver’s evaluation, but it separates the ones who stay on the field on early downs.
The table ranks this year’s draft-eligible wide receivers by blocking grade, with their route grades by depth, hands and overall rating alongside.
