Memphis’s blazing slot threat who turned speed into production
In the 2021 season, Calvin Austin III led Memphis with 74 catches for 1,149 yards and 8 touchdowns, showing a rare blend of vertical speed, slot separation, and after-the-catch juice that makes him hard to game-plan for. He’s the kind of receiver who tilts coverage, creates explosive plays, and brings a fearless, high-motor edge rather than just piling up easy targets. For a team that values instant acceleration and big-play upside, he’s absolutely worth caring about—and a strong fit if you want a receiver who can stress defenses every snap.
