Reynaud will not return to school for his 5th year, instead opting to
enter the 2008 Draft. Reynaud is obviously on the small side at only
5’10,” but he does have very good speed, and may become an effective
slot receiver in the NFL. While running routes in Rich Rodriguez’s
spread-option offense, Reynaud found himself wide open in gaping holes
between loose Safety coverage many times, leading to a good number of
long TD catches. Reynaud is a solid bet to impress with his 40-yard
dash time, but he must prove to GM’s and NFL coaches alike that he can
run routes as a #3 receiver at the professional level. Reynaud must
also learn to catch the ball with his hands more, rather than cradling
balls thrown to him with his arms/chest. As of now, Reynaud looks like
a mid-round Draft prospect.
