Matt Waldman’s RSP Boiler Room WR Antonio Gandy-Golden (Liberty): Hoss


Matt Waldman’s RSP Boiler Room takes another look at Liberty wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden and shows two examples of this NFL Draft prospect being a hoss in the open field. 

Antonio Gandy-Golden plays to every inch of his (approximate) 6’4″, 220-pound dimensions—and then some. We won’t see it on full display in Mobile, Alabama for the Senior Bowl, but Gandy-Golden is a hoss.

He’ll overpower weaker corners off the lin, box-out lesser coverage players at the catch point, and woe be onto you if you’re not prepared to bring technique, body, and soul into tackling this receiver. In a rich draft class of receivers, Gandy-Golden deserves more admiration.

If Gandy-Golden were in the class that sported the big receivers who earned a lot of pub but few earned the draft-day love (Allen Lazard, Courtland Sutton, and Equanimeous St. Brown to name a few), Gandy Golden would have easily been my favorite.

As long as he displays the skill to learn offenses and translate the classroom to the playing field, I have no doubt that he’ll not only physically match his competition, but he’ll often pose a weekly mismatch advantage.

If you’re a fantasy owner and interested in purchasing past publications for $9.95 each, the 2012-2019 RSPs also have a Post-Draft Add-on that’s included at no additional charge.  

Best, yet, a percentage of every sale is set aside for a year-end donation to Darkness to Light to combat sexual abuse.
