4. player. 852. . . . Rashod Bateman, Minnesota

This year was full of plot twists for the Golden Gophers and Rashod Bateman. The Minnesota standout opted out of the season due to public health concerns in August only to reverse course and join his teammates despite the fact he had already hired an agency to represent him.

However, Bateman left the Gophers again and declared for the draft when their game against Wisconsin was cancel due to a COVID-19 outbreak. In 2019, he hauled in 60 receptions for 1,219 yards and 11 touchdowns. This season, he caught 36 passes for 472 yards and two touchdowns in five games.

. Rondale Moore, Purdue. 3. player. 848. .

Rondale Moore’s time at Purdue has been filled with ups and downs. The wide receiver had an electrifying freshman campaign in 2018. That year, he hauled in 114 receptions for 1,258 yards and 12 touchdowns. Moreover, he earned the Paul Hornung Award and was named a First-Team All-American.

Alas, Moore missed most of the 2019 season and a good chunk of this one with injuries. He has played in two games this season and it seems like he picked up where he left off as he has caught 22 receptions for 192 yards. He may enter the draft process with injury concerns, but this year, he’s displayed the same playmaking prowess he showed in 2018.
