Overview

Penny Hart was a major weapon for Georgia State in the passing game.  He graduated early and decided to skip his senior year.  He helped himself with a good week at the Senior Bowl, but surprisingly didn’t get invited to the Combine.  He projects as a slot receiver at the next level and should be selected on day 3.  He is one of my favorite wideouts in this draft.
