efficient Eastern Michigan receiver with upside, but still building his profile
Austin Stone enters the 2026 picture as a depth receiver for Eastern Michigan with early-career production that shows efficiency more than volume, posting 9 catches for 144 yards and 1 touchdown with a 16.0-yard average in ESPN’s profile. His college resume suggests a field-stretching role rather than a high-usage target, and his recruiting testing showed a 4.74-second 40-yard dash and 4.56 shuttle, which points to workable straight-line speed and short-area quickness. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a developmental WR who can create chunk plays rather than a polished featured option.
