Stanford’s big-bodied, veteran target who quietly did the dirty work
In the 2023 season, John Humphreys was Stanford’s most experienced returning wideout and a trusted outside target, with 53 career catches for 678 yards and 2 touchdowns before a knee injury ended his year early; earlier in 2023 he was projected to step into a larger WR1 role. At 6-foot-5, he brings catch radius, physicality, and matchup stress, but the big story is durability: his 2023 knee issue and later medical retirement clouded his long-term outlook. If you want a tall possession receiver with experience and red-zone value, he fit the profile—assuming the medicals checked out.
