What the analysts are saying

• "While he does have an NFL frame, his lack of quickness and speed will be hard to get past for evaluators. He lacks functional speed to back cornerbacks off and the quickness to create separation underneath." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
• "Cantrell was among the most versatile players in the country over his Red Raider career as he often switched between the slot and outside receiver positions." - NFLDraftScout.com
