Talon Shumway, WR

If one thing is clear, it’s that Shumway is very athletic. He appears to be a solid route runner, but we don’t have too much college film to go off in terms of his ability to create separation. But his size (6-foot-3, 200-pounds) will help him box out opposing defensive backs.

I think Shumway has the potential to be a safety blanket for Tanner Mangum. He might not be a deep threat or burner, but I could see Mangum looking to him in big spots in short and medium yardage situations.
