This Rookie WR Could Be the Next Rashee Rice

Happy Tuesday!

Let me put another rookie on your radar: Jaylin Noel.

He’s a 5’10” slot WR out of Iowa State — and his production?

It got better every single year.

He posted 80 catches for nearly 1,200 yards as a senior, lined up in the slot on 75% of his snaps, and brought home Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year.

At the Combine?

He ran a 4.39, posted a 99th percentile burst score, and led all WRs in both vertical and broad jump.

Translation: He’s explosive. Really explosive.

What stands out on tape:

• ✅ Crisp footwork and route deception

• ✅ Finds soft spots in zone like a vet

• ✅ Dangerous after the catch

• ✅ Experience as a returner

• ✅ Has that “suddenness” that Rashee Rice showed last preseason

He’s not perfect — he has some focus drops and a limited route tree — but if he lands on a team that lets him operate freely out of the slot?

Jaylin Noel could be a rookie breakout waiting to happen.

I’m starting to sprinkle Noel into some of my Underdog best ball builds — the burst is real, and the price is still dirt cheap.
