With the beginning of the NFL Combine just hours away, ESPN NFL Draft analyst Matt Miller updated his list of the top 50 prospects in this year's draft class. Western Kentucky standout wide receiver Malachi Corley just cracked the top 50 at #48.

The 5'11", 210-pounder was one of 11 wide receiver included in Miller's list. Corley was one of just two G5 prospects listed in the top 50. Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell was #17.

"Corley proved at the Senior Bowl that he belongs on the big stage with a standout performance against Power 5 defensive backs," Miller said of Corley.
