#4 Christian Kirk - Texas A&M

Belk Bowl - Texas A&M v Wake Forest
Christian Kirk

One the most talented and explosive players in college football, Christian Kirk has been a headache for most head coaches in the SEC due to his elite pass-catching and returning ability.

Kirk has had a huge influence on the Aggies since his freshman year when he lined against some of the best corner talents and still came out with 1,009 yards on 80 catches with 7 touchdowns at an average of 12.6 yards per grab. He also displayed his elite punt returning ability averaging 24.4 yards per return with 2 touchdowns.

He faced some inconsistent quarterback play during his sophomore and junior year but still managed to rack up 928 and 919 yards on 83 and 71 receptions respectively. He also managed 4 punt-return touchdowns in that period.

Kirk finishes his A&M career second in all-time receptions (234), third in receiving yards (2,856), and the all-time leader in punt return touchdowns (6).

Kirk is shifty and elusive which makes him a very dangerous threat with the ball in his hands. He is lightning-fast and can bolt past cornerbacks and safeties with ease. Along with his speed, Kirk also has a strong, solid frame which makes him extremely difficult to bring down after a catch and given the passing nature of the NFL, Kirk has the potential to become an elite wideout threat.
