a polished, physical Duke wideout with proven playmaking pedigree
Raphael Chestnut is a Duke receiver with a long track record of production and toughness: in the 2008 season he was a returning starter who had already battled back from a torn right ACL, and Duke consistently leaned on his quickness, experience, and reliability at the position. His career line at Duke finished at 72 catches for 760 yards and 3 touchdowns, and his high school résumé showed big-play instincts and playmaking juice. He looks like the kind of competitive, no-drama target coaches trust in big moments—more steady chain-mover than flashy highlight merchant.
