Chris Cunningham brings playmaking juice as SMU’s go-to WR and return threat
Chris Cunningham’s biggest value is versatility: he produced as a primary receiver and a dangerous punt returner, leading SMU in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, punt returns, and punt return yards in the cited season. He was also described as the Mustangs’ “go-to” target, which suggests trust in key moments beyond the box score. At 5-8 and 175 pounds, his fit is more about quickness, toughness, and hidden-yardage impact than size—an attractive profile for a team that wants a high-usage slot weapon and special teams spark.
