In a few short weeks it will be the dead season in professional sports.

The NFL season has long since ended and both the NBA and NHL are in their final series. MLB will try to keep us entertained Benny Snell Jr. Jersey , but I cannot remain interested for the entire 162 game season. The single bright spot? We are now less than three months away from the 2018 season of the NFL. I am already looking forward to next season and the 2018 NFL Draft has given us a glimpse into how this upcoming season will be different. Looking into next season, this list will name the 8 NFL Rookies Who Will Tear It Up This Year (and 7 That Will Fail). The entries on this list come from every round of the 2018 NFL Draft, though most of them do come from the first three rounds. After these rounds, expectations significantly fall off, so it does not make sense to include too many entries from rounds 4-7. If you can think of any 2018 draft picks who will exceed expectations, or some who are likely to falter in their first years, feel free to mention them in the comments. Not unlike white NBA players Zach Gentry Jersey , there seems to be a fascination among football fans for the white offensive weapons in the NFL; namely, white running backs and wide receivers. Why? Why not?Maybe it's because, put simply, white people are seemingly the minority at those positions or maybe it's because of stars like Wes Welker and Brian Finneran, but football fans love white wide receivers. I don't know if I get it, even as a cis white male, but even I won't deny that there have been some fantastic wide receivers with a white skin tone to make their mark in the NFL.But Melvin Gordon III Jersey , what happens when the players retire? Do they stick close to the sports world they’ve spent so much of their life in and around? Do they go pursue other careers that maybe they didn’t have the time or energy – or even knowledge – of doing and devoting their time to? Do they wind up in prison – well, we’ll do our best not to talk about these guys today.For this, we'll be looking at wide receivers who are alive at the time of publishing, meaning that some of the all-time great wideouts from the 1940s and 1950s who are dead now aren't on this list. Also, this is not a direct ranking list, meaning that one career or one player is not necessarily higher than the other; this is simply a gathering of some of the best white, living Joey Bosa Jersey , wide receivers in NFL history.If you're ready, grab your gloves, line up in the slot, and run about seven or eight yards out for the pass...or ranking.
