2023 NFL Combine WR, TE measurements, 40-yard dash: Top WRs small, top TEs massive, more takeaways
With quarterbacks passing for more yards now than ever before, NFL teams are hoping to find pass-catchers who can make an immediate impact for their offense. There are several promising prospects at both wide receiver and tight end who are taking part in the 2023 NFL Combine in Indianapolis.
There could be as many as five or more such players taken in the first round of the draft alone, with prospects like TCU wideout Quentin Johnston, USC wideout Jordan Addison, Ohio State wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba and more among those projected as potential Day 1 selections.
Below is a look at all the official measurements for the wide receivers and tight ends at the combine.

Key takeaways
- The top wide receivers, with the exception of Quentin Johnston, are a very small group. None of Jordan Addison, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Zay Flowers, Josh Downs, or Jalin Hyatt measured taller than 6-0 1/2, and none of them weighed in at more than 196 pounds. Both of those figures were attributable to JSN, while Addison, Flowers, and Downs all checked in 5-11 or shorter and weighed 182 or less.
- The top tight ends, meanwhile, are enormous. Michael Mayer, Luke Musgrave, Dalton Kincaid, and Darnell Washington all checked in at least 6-3 1/2 and 246 pounds. They all had large hands and long arms. They’re fitting the new prototype for the position.
- West Virginia WR Bryce Ford-Wheaton became the third player since 2003 to measure at least 6-3, jump 40-plus inches in the vertical and run a sub-4.40 second 40-yard dash at the Combine. The other two players: Seattle Seahawks stars DK Metcalf and Tariq Woolen.
- LSU’s Kayshon Boutte was at the opposite end of the spectrum. He measured on the smaller side (5-11, 195) but ran just 4.50 in the 40, jumped 29 inches on the vertical and had a 9’10” broad jump. Not the best performance for a player whose on-field performance also dipped over the past two years.
