Andy Isabella 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Football fans don’t typically think of the University of Massachusetts as a hotbed for NFL players. However, Minutemen wide receiver Andy Isabella<\/a><\/strong> has made a name for himself as one of the premier receivers in this year’s draft. The 5’9″ wideout leaves UMass as one of the best players in the school’s history. In his four years at UMass he hauled in 231 catches for 3,526 yards and 30 touchdowns.<\/p>\n

In addition to this, Isabella also tacked on two rushing touchdowns in his collegiate career. His most impressive season was his senior year where he scored 13 touchdowns and piled up 1,698 receiving yards. He proved during his collegiate career that he has the ability to succeed as a slot receiver, but he can also make plays on the outside. At just 5’9″ and 188 pounds, Isabella will likely play exclusively as a slot receiver in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Despite some gaudy numbers in college, Isabella still wasn’t considered an elite receiving prospect. Some of this can be attributed to playing in a weak conference and not facing a high level of competition on a weekly basis. However, Isabella made quite an impression on scouts and fans alike at this year’s NFL Combine. He blew everyone away by running a 4.31 forty yard dash. He had a faster time than some of the top prospects at his position including Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry<\/a> <\/strong>and Ole Miss’ D.K. Metcalf<\/a><\/strong>. In addition to some incredible physical ability, Isabella is a very smart player who runs solid routes, something that will play well in the NFL. He spent much of the time leading up to the combine working out with Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss<\/a><\/strong>. Having a teacher like Moss certainly can’t hurt for a developing wide receiver.<\/p>\n
