2021 NFL Draft Rumors: Top 3 landing spots for Illinois WR Josh Imatorbhebhe

Josh Imatorbhebhe may be one wide receiver who could be a surprise pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. Imatorbhebhe started his college career at the University of Southern California (USC) before transferring to Illinois in 2019. Most of his success has come in the two years he has spent in Illinois.

Josh Imatorbhebhe is currently the 128th-ranked overall prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft, according to thedraftnetwork.com. That puts him being drafted around the fourth round of the Draft. He could potentially go sooner than the fourth round, though.

Imatorebhebhe recorded a 46.5 inch vertical on his Pro Day and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.48 seconds. Not to mention, he posted a broad jump of 11' 2", numbers that could have increased his draft stock tremendously.
