Numerous teams around the country put up stellar offensive showings this week with points flying all over. Here are some of the best of the best standouts who elevated themselves into Offensive NFL Draft Risers<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 10\u2019s Offensive NFL Draft Risers Contain Multiple Career-Defining Performances<\/b><\/h2>\n

WR Jordan Watkins, Ole Miss<\/b><\/h3>\n

There isn\u2019t much to say about Watkins other than that he caught eight passes for 254 yards and five touchdowns. After this week, the fifth-year senior wideout likely induced nightmares within the Arkansas secondary and coaching staff. Watkins and quarterback Jaxson Dart were firing on all cylinders on their way to a dominant 63-31 showing.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Continuously behind star Tre Harris on the depth chart, among others, Watkins hasn\u2019t generated much pre-draft hype to this point. That could be changing after his electric outing because of his stat line\u2019s sheer impossibility to overlook. With three more SEC games on the horizon, he has chances to put out more high-profile tape and push himself into the NFL Draft conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential Team Fit: Buffalo Bills<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

TE Joshua Simon, South Carolina<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Gamecocks\u2019 36-20 upset<\/a> over Texas A&M headlined the weekly slate of games and Joshua Simon\u2019s performance was a major reason why. His four snags for 132 yards and two scores were by far the best game of his collegiate career to date. The Aggies’ defense had zero answers for the 23-year-old TE and he flashed his intriguing body type and athleticism mix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to Watkins, Simon hasn\u2019t garnered many NFL conversations in the mainstream draft media. What some scouts have pointed out, however, is that he has the makings of a much better pro player than collegiate. If he can continue to maintain his consistent production and test well next spring he could be selected fairly highly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential Team Fit: Los Angeles Chargers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

OL Amari Kight, UCF<\/b><\/h3>\n

Kight and the UCF offense steamrolled through Arizona en route to a convincing 56-12 victory<\/a> in Week 10. The experienced OT posted the team\u2019s third-highest offensive PFF grade this week with their highest pass-blocking grade to match. The 6\u20197\u201d 318-pounder simply outmatched the entirety of the Arizona defensive line and consistently moved people effortlessly.<\/span><\/p>\n

A likely late-round selection comes in April, and Kight could boost his stock over the next few months in a weaker class. He has sometimes shown elite sparks in his career, especially as a pass protector. His frame provides a high athletic upside and his agility and strength should give NFL scouts a reason to take a flyer on him.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential Team Fit: Houston Texans<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

OL Quinn Carroll, Minnesota<\/b><\/h3>\n

Minnesota came into ranked Illinois\u2019s home and left with a surprising eight-point win with the help of some late heroics. Carroll posted an 88-plus PFF grade in both pass blocking and run blocking against the Fighting Illini defense. He kept QB Max Brosmer\u2019s pocket clean the entire contest and was a technically sound blocker in all schemes.<\/span><\/p>\n

His processing and skills in pass-blocking make him an interesting option for any team in the draft\u2019s later rounds. He could become a starter down the line if he\u2019s able to sure up his run-blocking abilities and overall fluidity. Saturday\u2019s game was a big step in the right direction for Carroll as a prospect and he could make a legitimate impact on his draft position because of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Potential Team Fit: Cleveland Browns<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
