It's a good time to be playing wide receiver these days at the high school level. The game of football continues to change into a much more wide open, high speed, explosive style of play.
Take a look at the draft numbers: For the first time in NFL history, a tailback was not selected until the 2nd round at the 54th pick.
Leading the board in the 1st round were defensive backs - a total of 9 picks in the 1st round were DB's! The total number of DB's selected in the draft - 53. The next biggest group - linebackers with 37. And third, Wide Receivers with 33.
