Profile

Summary:Doctson may not be the biggest or tallest wide receiver, but he has great athleticism and is known for his outstanding ability to compete for jump balls. Long arms help his catch radius and strong hands help corral tough catches.

CBS Sports' Dane Brugler also noted that Doctson's character isn't a concern as he is an "unselfish, dependable and hungry worker — can't find anyone who will say a negative word about him. Highly productive, leading TCU in receiving each of his three seasons with the program."

Stacking up: NFL Media analyst Mike Mayock ranked Doctson as his third-best cornerback, moving him up from his initial fourth spot. Fellow analyst Bucky Brooks also has Doctson as the No. 3 prospect at the position. Daniel Jeremiah ranked Doctson at No. 39 in his list of the top 50 prospects in the 2016 NFL Draft. Jeremiah didn't have Doctson in his initial top 50, but added him after the combine.

Family ties: Doctson played one season at Wyoming before transferring to TCU. His mother, Tracy, is TCU's vice chancellor of marketing and communication. Doctson's older brother, Jeremiah, is also a student at the school.
