The wide receiver from East Carolina has been plagued by injuries his entire career but has the ability to be a consistent threat on the outside. Although, this past season, he hauled in 59 catches for 886 yards and 6 touchdowns in spite of nagging injuries.
At this year’s NFL Combine, Grayson ran a 4.51 40 yard dash and had a 34.5 inch vertical. He had 19 reps on the bench press and a broad jump of 124 inches.
