Penn State senior Jahan Dotson doesn’t have the stats that other top receivers in the nation do, but his skill set and natural ability have made him one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft.
With 43 receptions for 494 yards and six touchdowns this season, he’s filled his role in the Nittany Lions’ offense well. With Sean Clifford throwing him the ball, and a lack of an impact running game, he’s not going to be the wideout that produces insane statistics, but he’s made the most of his chances.
According to Pro Football Focus College, Dotson’s 63 targets this season are the most in college football without a drop.

He’s a quick, shifty receiver with the ball in his hands, and while he’s only 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, he’s strong enough to break opposing tackles.
While Dotson suffered the occasional drop throughout his Lions’ career, his ultra-efficient senior season points toward his elite upside.
