Overview
Under-achieving talent who flashes all of the prerequisite skills to be a top prospect, but lacks the focus and work ethic to have taken advantage of his natural ability. Characterized by the Virginia Tech staff as the most gifted of a handful of senior Hokie receivers earning consideration for the NFL, Morgan has a rare combination of size and speed. He flashes the burst out his breaks, hand-eye coordination and strong hands to get scouts excited. Unfortunately, he's also plagued by rounded-off routes, weak effort as a blocker and ugly drops. Perhaps as much as any receiver prospect in the 2008 draft, Morgan is a true boom or bust prospect.
Analysis

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
