Christian Kirk 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

When\u00a0Christian Kirk<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>confirmed that he would take his talents to Texas A&M instead of Arizona State, Aggie fans thought that\u00a0the top-tier\u00a0Johnny Manziel<\/a><\/strong>–Mike Evans<\/a><\/strong> connection would be reborn with Kirk and\u00a0Kenny Hill<\/a><\/strong>. Er, Kirk and Kyle Allen<\/a><\/strong>. Kirk and Kyler Murray<\/a><\/strong>. Kirk and Jake Hubenak<\/a><\/strong>. Kirk and Nick Starkel<\/a><\/strong>. Kirk and Kellen Mond<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>\n

The highly-touted recruit out of Scottsdale, AZ was meant to maintain the athletic excellence the Aggies enjoyed with Manziel and Evans at the helm. Unfortunately,\u00a0Kevin Sumlin<\/a><\/strong> grossly mismanaged his quarterback situation and doubled down on inefficient offensive coordinators.<\/p>\n

Despite the quarterback carousel in College Station, Kirk managed to emerge as a shining star on a team that failed to produce. His dazzling runs and sticky hands placed him atop the depth chart at wide receiver and the enemy of special teams units across the SEC.<\/p>\n
