4 Offensive NFL Draft Risers From Week 9

There were many offensive prospects who became big NFL Draft risers in Week 9 with standout performances. Here are four NFL Draft risers who boosted their draft stock in Week 9 of college football.

Top Offensive NFL Draft Risers From Week 9

QB Haynes King, Georgia Tech

Haynes King earned ACC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his tremendous performance in Week 9 against Syracuse. King had an 80.6% completion percentage, 304 passing yards, and three passing touchdowns with no interceptions in a 41-16 win. He added to his great passing performance with 91 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns as well. King has the seventh-best QBR in the country right now and ranks second in total rushing touchdowns with 12. He has helped guide Georgia Tech to a top-10 ranking and an 8-0 start of the season. King is an older prospect with some injury history, and he needs to continue developing as a passer. However, with his experience, leadership skills, toughness, athleticism, and his consistently impressive play this season, King could become a late-round pick in the draft.

RB Mark Fletcher Jr., Miami (FL)

In Miami’s 42-7 win over Stanford, Mark Fletcher Jr. helped lead the way as the game leader in touchdowns scored. Fletcher’s top trait is his power as a runner. He showed off that skill many times against Stanford, consistently picking up extra yards after contact and breaking tackles throughout the game. He picked up multiple first downs on third down touches and dominated near the goal line with three touchdown runs from inside the 10-yard line in the game. Fletcher is an efficient runner and strong short-yardage situation running back who ranks in the top 12 in rushing touchdowns this season with nine.

WR Denzel Boston, Washington

Denzel Boston had a great all-around performance against Illinois, proving himself to be one of the top NFL wide receiver prospects in college football. He showed his reliable hands, the ability to consistently pick up yards after the catch with solid speed and contact balance. Boston made plays in both the short and intermediate parts of the field and displayed his big-play ability with three 20-plus yard receptions in the game. He finished the game with 10 receptions for 153 yards and a receiving touchdown. He had a passing touchdown on a trick play as well. Boston ranks in the top 15 in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He is positioning himself well to be one of the first receivers taken in the draft.

TE Tanner Koziol, Houston

Tanner Koziol had a season-high 100 receiving yards and a touchdown in Houston’s upset win over No. 24 Arizona State. Koziol is a tight end with tremendous size at 6-foot-7 and possesses good athleticism. He has a great ability to high-point the football and come away with difficult catches, which he did multiple times against Arizona State. Koziol is having one of the best seasons of any tight end in the country so far this season. He currently leads all tight ends in receptions with 43. Koziol also ranks second in receiving yards among all tight ends with 450 yards.
