An ASU playmaker with big-game juice and trick-play flair
Justin Taplin’s Arizona State profile is the definition of a multi-threat spark plug: in the 2002 season, he totaled 18 catches for 299 yards and added enough versatility to throw a 23-yard touchdown pass and score on a 58-yard grab against Oregon[4][8]. He’s the kind of receiver who brings toughness, competitiveness, and a little chaos—in a good way—with evidence of special-teams value too, including a 62-yard punt return while playing through an ankle issue in 2001[14][15]. If you want a creative, high-energy weapon who can tilt a game beyond the box score, Taplin fits that mold.
