2011 NFL Draft – Pick 79: Leonard Hankerson, WR, Washington Redskins

By Cory J. Bonini on April 29, 2011

The Washington Redskins selected Miami (Fla.) wide receiver Leonard Hankerson with the 79th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft.

Could become a No. 1 receiver as a rook

Fantasy analysis: Hankerson really came to life last year for the Hurricanes, setting a school record with 13 receiving scores. He enters a favorable situation in Washington, although no one is sure what will happen with their quarterback drama.

Hankerson could be the No. 1 receiver if Santana Moss, who is a free agent, doesn't return to the franchise. For now, Hankerson is a speculative late-round flier pick, but he could shoot up draft boards once his role is more clearly defined.
