Ahmad Wagner - 2020 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Ahmad Wagner is a wide receiver out of Kentucky that has managed to get a little NFL Draft buzz despite not putting up big numbers in college. The first reason that he didn’t put up big numbers is that he did not make it to Kentucky until 2018. The other reason is that he didn’t play football in college until transferring to Kentucky as he was originally a basketball brute for the Iowa Hawkeyes. He didn’t play in 2018, and in 2019, he didn’t exactly set the world on fire as he had just 15 catches. It’s not like he geared up as the season went on as over the last eight games of the season, he managed three catches for six yards. But once a Hawkeye, always a Hawkeye, so let’s take a look at everything I can find on Ahmad Wagner.

You want a big time touchdown catch against a top level defense like Florida? Well, here you go.

With the tight coverage, he does make a bit of a bobble, but he continues with his concentration and manages to secure the ball as he hits the ground for the touchdown.

And that’s it for his football highlights. Here he is on the basketball court though.

There’s a big time drive and dunk that shows off some impressive athleticism.

I would have loved to see Wagner get a combine invite, or at least have a pro day, because at 6’5” 240 lbs, I think his athleticism could have impressed a lot of teams. Kentucky used him at wide receiver, but he’s likely a tight end that often lines up away from the tackle. Considering the only highlight he has is him bobbling a ball before catching it, he’s probably an undrafted free agent, but if that’s the case, I’d love to see the Bears bring him in as their 11th tight end to see if he can at least offer something different than the other ten guys hanging around.
