Vinny Anthony: Lean receiver aiming to pack a punch
28 Feb
Summary
- Anthony is a leaner receiver hoping combine performance showcases athleticism.
- He has nearly 500 snaps of run blocking on tape.
- Anthony possesses versatility as a receiver, runner, and returner.

Vinny Anthony is preparing for the NFL Draft as an underdog, aiming to overcome perceptions based on his leaner physique. Measuring just under six feet and 185 pounds, Anthony acknowledges his size but asserts his strength and willingness to engage in blocking, dispelling assumptions about skinnier receivers. He has extensive experience, with nearly 500 snaps of run blocking recorded over his last two seasons.
Anthony's senior season statistics, including 391 receiving yards and one touchdown, were impacted by poor quarterback play. However, his versatility is a significant asset, as demonstrated by his contributions as a ball-carrier and kickoff returner, scoring touchdowns in both capacities. He hopes his performances at the Senior Bowl and NFL Scouting Combine will convince teams of his all-around capabilities and earn him a draft selection or an undrafted rookie free-agent contract.
