With COVID-19 additional time, Las Vegas Raiders General Manager Tom Telesco talked about the ages of wide receivers as he evaluates them before the NFL Draft: "Like any position, as you age you sometimes you get a little bit better at it, right? Your technique is better. But a lot of times college players at every position, sometimes you're so much more talented than the player you're going to play against, you're athletic ability can just kind of take over, because at the college level, you're not always playing against another pro prospect. And then you get in this league and your ability can only take you so far. A lot of it is fundamentals and technique to try and raise that game. So, it's not always a bad thing getting older. Now with every position, you've got to try to see where the decline starts. But the receiver position, you can still have some success in this league just on route running, adjustment, hands, and maybe not quite as fast as you were, when you were 19, 20, 21 years old, but still be very productive."

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
