Kayshon Boutte, WR, LSU
OK, so more red flags than the Beijing Olympics. Medical with two ankle surgeries. Vague but recurring character issues. Bad bad bad jump numbers at the combine, which suggests he's been sitting on his ass. Pretty good 4.50 forty though. It wouldn't surprise me too much if he went undrafted.
He's not even listed on some big boards. Makes me wonder if there aren't even more things we don't know about. But when I first watched the receivers in this class, only Quentin Johnston had better movement skills (among the bigger guys).
So will the Vikings take a chance on a kid like this on day 3 hoping he's over his injuries, and maybe by joining his former teammate and the NFL's best culture, they can get through to him? Probably a long shot, but the talent is there.
I may be one of the very few left, but I'm still in on LSU junior WR Kayshon Boutte.

On tape, he looked explosive coming back from the injury towards the end of the season and I think he can be a productive and reliable NFL WR as a Z or from the slot.pic.twitter.com/rxACWaH72L
