The Washington Redskins selected Ohio State wideout Evan Spencer with the 187th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
He did finish his Buckeyes' career with 52 catches for 579 yards and seven touchdowns. His 4.45 forty time, 35-inch vertical and 10'4" broad jump was better than scouts expected, but he'll still be a long shot to see the field. He will need to make a huge impact on special teams if he wants to carve out a roster spot.
According to draft insider Tony Pauline, Ohio State WR Evan Spencer "looked terrific". Pauline went on to add "The big-bodied wide out ran 40 times that ranged from 4.40 to 4.45 and caught the ball extremely well, extending his hands to grab the pass away from his frame. The feeling is this workout will push Spencer into the late part of the draft, as comparisons are being made to James Wright, the seventh-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals last year who was marginally productive in college but came with a great deal of physical talent and looked good during his pro-day workout. "
Fantasy Impact
You may remember Spencer from the Sugar Bowl, as he threw a memorable touchdown pass to help defeat Alabama. Spencer never recorded more than 300 yards receiving in a season for Ohio State, so there are questions about his ability. However it seems that Spencer has the look of an NFL receiver and should be on your watch-lists going forward.
