DaMarkus Lodge 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

DaMarkus Lodge isn’t afraid to do things differently. The five-star recruit opted to leave his home state of Texas despite interest from the Longhorns as well as Texas A&M.<\/p>\n

Whether his decision to choose Ole Miss ahead of those in-state powerhouses is open for debate. Lodge’s production was limited by an offense that relied too heavily on vertical routes despite being stacked with apparent game-changing talent at receiver.<\/p>\n

We’ll never know if a more creative offensive attack could have harnessed more from Lodge at the collegiate level but the flashes he showed with the Rebels should be enough to intrigue NFL coordinators.<\/p>\n

Lodge racked up 106 catches for 1,575 yards and 11 touchdowns in his final two seasons at Ole Miss. If used more inventively at the NFL level, he has the potential to thrive as an outside receiver with his blend of size, sticky hands, and outstanding body control.<\/p>\n
