An FCS Diamond in the Rough"Keelan Doss Chase Roullier Jersey , WRSchool: UC Davis | Conference: Big SkyCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 23Height / Weight: 6-2 / 211 lbsProjected Draft Status: 4th-7th RoundNFL Comparison: Geronimo AllisonCollege StatisticsUC Davis StatisticsYearTeamGRushYdsYd/RushTDsRecYdsYd/RecTDsYearTeamGRushYdsYd/RushTDsRecYdsYd/RecTDsPlayer OverviewAn Alameda, CA native, Keelan Doss spent four years at the University of California Davis - a FCS school - collecting over 4,000 yards and 28 TDS receiving on 321 receptions. During his junior year, in 2017, Doss had the highest average receiving yards per game (136.3) of any player in Division 1. Doss’ resume was sufficiently impressive in 2018 that he received an invite to the Senior Bowl, where he caught 4 passes for 55 yards and got on the radar screen of a bevy of NFL scouts. At his Pro Day, Doss ran a 4.45 40 and worked out in front of 18 NFL scouts at a school that’s not generally on the NFL scout circuit. Doss was also named a second team FCS All-American in 2018. As a result of his recent performances, Doss’ draft position is all over the map, from the 4th through the 7th round.StrengthsAbility to make vertical cutsBody awareness and ability to make contested catchesGood with the ball in his handsBlockingCan work in the slotSizeBright (graduated in December 2018)WeaknessesHorizontal breaksExplosive route runningConcerns about speedLet’s see his workHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsWord is that Doss caught Jon Gruden’s eye at the Senior Bowl Wes Martin Washington Redskins Jersey , and that Doss was a Raiders’ fan growing up. What are the chances Jon might be willing to share some intel with little brother Jay? While Doss played against lesser competition at UC Davis, he was more than able to hold his own against top FBS corners like Penn State’s Amani Oruwariye and Texas’ Kris Boyd during the Senior Bowl. Doss is a big receiver who can work both outside and in the slot, who has a reputation for leadership - he was team captain at UC Davis - and brains and who has demonstrated more than adequate speed for the position. The Redskins are in desperate need of help at the WR position, and with the early picks seemingly spoken for to meet more pressing team needs, such as EDGE, QB, IOL, and FS, this year’s unusually deep WR pool provides a great opportunity to pick up mid to late rounders like Doss to bolster the teams’ catching corps. I’d love to see the Redskins grab Doss in the 5th as part of a multi-year effort to transform our WR group with underestimated sleeper picks over the next two drafts.
