Will Blackmon CB/WR BC
Will Blackmon is an intereasting prospect: Will Blackmon is one of the elite athletes in college football. He made his name as a return man and corner during his first three years at BC, but is now making an impact as a wide receiver for the Eagles. In his three years as a standout corner, Blackmon picked off seven passes and tallied 139 tackles. As a return man in 2004, he became one of the best special teamers in the country. He finished the year with a 27.2 kick off return average, which included a 96-yard touchdown return. On punts, he averaged 11.3 per return, along with a 71-yard return for a touchdown.
Blackmon is a potential cornerback (a position of need for the Giants), a potential receiver (who is the Giants #3?), and a return man (Do we really think Morton is better than Ponder returning kickoffs?).
