The 5 Best Video Highlights of Marvin McNutt

When it comes to drafting a wide receiver this year in the 2012 NFL Draft the wide receiver position may be the most loaded of any skilled spot.

Marvin McNutt is one of those skilled superstars. The 6'2 1/2", 212 pound pass catcher from Iowa is hoping to hear his name called early on Friday of the draft. McNutt played in four bowl games while a member of the Hawkeyes and is the team's all-time leader in touchdown receptions.

According to cbssportsline.com, McNutt is the 161st rated prospect in this draft and is expected to hear his named called in the fifth round.

But with a run on tall red zone-type receivers in this draft, which is bound to happen, who knows where and in what round he will end up.

According to the scouting report, in the same scouting notes, McNutt is a good receiver, but has some things the scouts and coaches may want him to work on.

"Marvin McNutt has excellent size (6'2 1/2, 212 pounds), strength, hands, and route-running to be a possession receiver in the NFL, but didn't show much in terms of elusiveness or the speed to turn short and intermediate passes into big plays."

But he is still a solid prospect. Here are some highlights that show how good he can be.

Once he catches the ball, he gets great separation from the defense.

McNutt is threat to score every time he catches the ball. Playing in the Big 10, there were some outstanding defenses he played against and showed how good he could really be.

He Made It Look Easy Against Purdue

McNutt showed he had concentration on the ball, leading to a 51-yard catch against the Boilermakers.

It is that kind of concentration and ability to haul in a pass that will have the scouts drooling over him.

22 Touchdowns

He is the most decorated pass catcher in Iowa history.

Marvin McNutt breaks the Iowa Hawkeyes career touchdown reception record with an 80 yard touchdown catch thrown by James Vandenberg. Danan Hughes and Tim Dwight previously held the record with 21 TD catches.

He Can Score from Anywhere

Across the middle or on the fade route, McNutt is not afraid to catch the ball in traffic.

And what he does after the catch, collecting huge chunks of yardage is impressive.

McNutt may be tall at of 6'2" but he could also be used in kick coverage and return teams as well.

Maybe that gives him an edge or advantage.

In this interview at the Senior Bowl, McNutt said it helps slow down the game for him so he can stay focused and make the key play.

He said his main goal is to be open and be a better target for the quarterback.

He should be used plenty in the red zone and end zone as a tall, lanky target.
