Former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey had a very strong showing down in Mobile, Ala., as he impressed plenty of people with his route running and hands.

Not bad for a 3* recruit out of HS. Just shows with hard work, dedication, and determination, recruiting stars don't mean squat. Very proud of what Ladd has accomplished, no doubts here that he will be just as good in the NFL as he was at UGA..GoDAWGS!
I've said it all year and I'll say it again......I'd take Ladd before first rounder Ole Marv for several reasons but first among those reasons is Ladds' toughness and TEAM mentality.......this 3 star from a small HS in North West GA can take a hit and still gain yards, then come back and do it again! Playing in the Orange Bowl rather than opting out like the Bucknut attest to his TEAM mentality! Fingers and toes crossed that The Ravens get a shot, but The Eagles would be fine too!
I think he goes in 3rd or 4th round due to injuries and such. If he is healthy he is a first rounder but too many injuries and the NFL season is long and the dbs are all top notch. HIs ability to get open is great but his catch radius fingertip to fingertip is average.
!st,2nd or 3rd round doesn't matter. Well, technically according to how the league pays it matters alot, but you know what I mean. Ladd is a success!. HEck, BB is undersized at the TE position for the NFL. THey should be fine.
If Ladd hadn't been injured so much this past season he would easily be a first rounder given his skill set. If he has a good showing at the combine he could still move into the first round.
