2026 BEST DEEP THREAT WIDE RECEIVERS
Deep route grade covers targets twenty or more yards downfield: go routes, posts and deep corners. It rewards the ability to stack a corner, track the ball and win in the air, and it penalises the big-play chances that go to ground. Randy Moss (Marshall) and DeSean Jackson (California) were the obvious college examples of a true vertical threat.
The table ranks this year’s draft-eligible wide receivers by deep route grade, with short and medium route grades, hands, blocking and overall rating for context.
