Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net and SI.com is reporting that Rutgers wide receiver Mohamed Sanu is expected to enter the NFL Draft following his junior season.
Sanu is an incredibly athletic do-it-all player for the Scarlet Knights. He's run the Wildcat and been the team's primary wide receiver. As a freshman, he played safety during the spring before being moved to offense.
Report: Rutgers’ Mohamed Sanu going pro after season

“It’s possible,” Sanu told MtD in an email about going pro after the season.
Last season, Sanu had 44 receptions for 418 yards and two receiving touchdowns. He also ran the ball 59 times for 309 yards and four more scores. Toward the end of the season, as Rutgers faltered, Sanu appeared to slow down.
At 6-foot-2 and 218 pounds, Sanu clearly has the size to be a factor at wide receiver. He plays up to his size, but is agile and quick as well. That’s why he’s currently rated as the 86th draft-eligible player in the nation.
Why not higher? As exciting as Sanu has been lining up in a variety of ways, it’s also been detrimental to his development at wide receiver.
Of course, the quarterback play at Rutgers hasn’t helped. The continued develop of sophomore QB Chase Dodd should help. Likewise, the pro-style offense now in place at Rutgers should refine Sanu’s route running.
