Ranking: From Clairton, Pa., Boyd was rated as the No. 12 wide receiver and No. 103 in the 2013 rankings. The four-star prospect was sixth in the Pennsylvania state rankings. He scored 50 touchdowns in his senior season and 117 in his high school career.

Recruiting: It was no shock at all that Boyd picked Pitt at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. The Panthers were always a favorite and he didn't pull any surprises. Michigan State, West Virginia, Tennessee, Rutgers and Penn State were also considered.

Overview: In two games, Boyd has 21 catches -- 15 more than any other Pitt receiver -- and one touchdown even with the Panthers' quarterbacks struggling at times this season. He's averaging 113 receiving yards per outing (87 more than any other receiver on the team) and Boyd should continue to put up impressive numbers the rest of the way.

Farrell's Take: I regret not making Boyd at least the No. 1 player in Pennsylvania over Robert Foster. Foster had a great Under Armour week and Boyd might have been over his head a bit at the Army Bowl having played quarterback for much of his high school career, but I really liked Boyd a lot and it doesn't surprise me he's in the first-round discussion. He's a gamer, a winner and he is dynamic with the ball in his hands. With slot receivers making a big impact in the NFL, he's perfect for that role.

Ranking: A four-star prospect, Fuller was rated as the No. 19 wide receiver and No. 176 overall in the 2013 class. He was seventh in the Pennsylvania state rankings out of Philadelphia (Pa.) Roman Catholic.

Recruiting: Fuller had been committed to Penn State but after taking a visit to Notre Dame in early August before his senior season decided to flip to the Irish. He was recruited as an athlete who could've helped at receiver or defensive back.

Overview: Fuller is already having a tremendous season, one that could shoot him up draft boards quickly especially if he continues to play well (he'll be closely watched against an excellent Clemson defense this weekend). So far, Fuller leads the Irish in all receiving categories with 22 catches for 454 yards (20.6 per catch) and six touchdowns. He has made some miraculous grabs, including the game-winner against Virginia.

Farrell's Take: In college, just like in high school, the more you watch Fuller the more you like him and understand that he's impossible to cover and has amazing hands and body control. Size has always been a question mark, especially in high school where he emerged as a 165-pounder, but he has added strength and he has shown he can take a hit, work outside or in the slot and has added speed. We're probably first to the party on him as a potential first-rounder and those who doubt him will be sorry.

Ranking: The Farmington Hills (Mich.) Harrison prospect was rated as the No. 16 wide receiver and No. 103 overall in the 2012 class. He was the top-rated recruit in the Michigan state rankings.

Recruiting: Burbridge had a final two of Michigan and Michigan State and he said two months before his pledge to the Spartans that he felt a little more comfortable with the Wolverines' coaching staff. Plus, high school teammates Devin Funchess and Mario Ojemudia were already committed to the Maize & Blue. But Burbridge picked Michigan State in July and stuck with it.

Overview: Burbridge is having an exceptional season and leading the Spartans in basically every receiving category. He has 24 catches (more than double the next WR) for 405 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 17 yards a catch and more than 100 receiving yards per game. In the game against Oregon, Michigan State's first true test this season, he had eight catches for 101 yards and a score.

Farrell's Take: Burbridge always had good size and a high ceiling, which is why he was so highly ranked but he's been slow to develop at Michigan State. However, he has developed and that's key because his combo of size, body control and recovery from a foot injury that set him back a bit now have him higher on the radar. He's a chain-mover and red zone threat and the NFL likes those guys.
