Junior wide receiver Mohamed Sanu leaves Rutgers for the 2012 NFL Draft and is coming off a fantastic season. He racked up 115 catches for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns in 2011. Sanu has nine career rushing scores and 21 total trips to paydirt in three years. 

Flashy sells, but Sanu produces

Strengths

• Size (6-foot-2, 215 pounds)
• Good in jump-ball situations
• Quick burst in short area
• Quality route runner
• Strong upper body allows him to easily fight through jams
• Powerful legs help him drive through tackles
• Great body control and flexibility
• Outstanding hands - probably his best attribute
• Capable and willing blocker
• Team-first player and is a pleasure to coach
• Fearless over the middle
• Able to play split end or out of the slot
• Experienced rushing the ball (653 yards, nine TDs at Rutgers)

Weaknesses

• Lacks straight-line speed
• Will be a 23-year-old rookie - may not have as long of a career as other junior wide receiver prospects
• Only one year of exceptional production

Expected draft placement

Sanu should be a late first- or early second-round choice in the draft. Teams that could be interested in him include the San Francisco 49ers, Indianapolis Colts, St. Louis Rams, Minnesota Vikings, Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Washington Redskins, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills. A lot comes down to how the first round shakes out, as Sanu will have plenty of suitors atop the second round.
