Mississippi State’s compact, versatile weapon with quick-twitch value
Malik Dear’s profile screams utility and burst: Mississippi State lists him as a 5-9, 220-pound senior WR who has also contributed at running back and in the return game, with quick feet and a career built on versatility and toughness after a torn ACL in 2017. In his Mississippi State career, he played 47 games with nine starts and scored six touchdowns, which tells you he’s more than a gadget piece—he’s a matchup problem who can survive contact and help in multiple phases.
