It’s no secret that the Jets loved Malachi Corley throughout the draft process.
From the front office to the coaching staff, they’ve had nothing but good things to say about the shifty receiver since selecting him out of Western Kentucky in the third round of this year’s draft.
Gang Green loves the upside that Corley brings to their already loaded offense and they feel he has the potential to turn into a legitimate weapon out of the slot for Aaron Rodgers.
And apparently, it’s not just the higher-ups in the organization who are feeling that way.
Fellow wide receiver Garrett Wilson recently offered some high praise of the 22-year-old rookie as he continues to impress during his early days with the team at OTAs.
“He looks like a problem,” Wilson said. “That boy’s a brute. He can go over the middle and take hits, and once he catches that ball he’s got great instincts of where the defense is going to be and how to make someone miss. I’m excited to see him run with the ball once we got pads on because I know I wouldn’t be trying to tackle him, he’s like a little bowling ball out there. I’m excited about his potential in this offense."
Those comments won’t come as a surprise to those who have seen Corley play, as he’s drawn comparisons to 49ers versatile receiver Deebo Samuel for his tough running and physicality, and the Jets certainly hope he can develop into that type of piece in their offense.
After switching from safety to receiver early in his collegiate career, the playmaker became a weapon out of the slot for the Hilltoppers, hauling in 245 receptions for 3035 yards and 29 touchdowns. He dubbed himself the ‘YAC king’ after leading the FBS in yards after the catch during his final three collegiate seasons.
While Corley didn’t quite receive the same amount of hype as some of the other top pass-catchers in this class leading up to the draft, he appears to have all the makings of a Day 3 steal for GM Joe Douglas.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
