Career Stats

A two-year starter at Stanford, Arcega-Whiteside was dominant against Pac 12 opponents week in and week out. He matched the single-season school record with 14 touchdown catches, while amassing over 1,000 yards in 2018.

Arcega-Whiteside is physically impressive and his basketball background is evident, showing the ability to box out, out-physical defenders and handle the ball with phenomenal ball skills. While he isn’t an elusive player, Arcega-Whiteside is more than just a possession target, always looking to turn catches downfield and create yards after the catch.

Overall, Arcega-Whiteside isn’t a speed demon and needs work with his route running and the finer points of the position, but the former Stanford product’s NFL body and strong hands make him an intriguing wide receiver, who can earn his checks at the sticks and in the red zone.

Projection: 3rd Round
