When looking far down the road at any NFL draft, the main focus becomes the quarterback position, as many fans and analysts try to determine who the next stars of the game are going to be. As we prepare for the 2027 class to make their final case to NFL teams, there’s one position group outside of the pocket that is creating a lot of buzz, though.The guys that those QBs throw to are expected to turn heads.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHeadlined by Ohio State’s Jeremiah Smith and Texas’ Cam Coleman, some NFL analysts are predicting early on that this class of WRs in 2027 could be among the best that we’ve seen in quite a while, with The Athletic’s Dane Brugler already stating that he believes Smith could be the best WR prospect he’s ever scouted.Among the best players in that top class, though, is Oregon Ducks’ star WR Evan Stewart, who is entering his senior season in Eugene and looking for a chance to boost his profile even higher.Brugler has Stewart listed as the No. 1-ranked senior WR in the class, just ahead of guys like Miami’s Cooper Bartake, Arizona State’s Omarion Miller, and Florida’s Eric Singleton Jr. In his three-year career, Stewart has hauled in 139 passes for 1,776 yards and 11 touchdowns. He had a career year with the Ducks in 2024, with 613 yards and five touchdowns, but missed the entire 2025 season with a knee injury.Now back for one last ride, Stewart knows that it is a “do or die” season, as he describes it, and that in order to make a name for himself as a member of this draft class, he’s going to need to put on a show.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementContact/Follow @Ducks_Wire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Oregon Ducks news, notes, and opinions.This article originally appeared on Ducks Wire: Oregon Ducks’ Evan Stewart named No. 1 senior WR in 2027 draft class
