Ayomanor

This is a vote of confidence for Ayomanor, who could have been considered simply a jump-ball specialist. While his long-term role is far from guaranteed, Ayomanor is at least being considered as the 30-year-old Calvin Ridley’s potential replacement. Ayomanor enters the 2025 season as a worthwhile dynasty pick and a player to monitor as training camp progresses. He is unlikely to be relevant in re-draft leagues this year, though.

Ayomanor (6’2/206) redshirted as a freshman and hit the ground running as a sophomore, posting a 62/1,013/6 receiving line. He accounted for 36 percent of his team’s passing yards and had over half of the touchdowns. Stanford’s offense reached new lows in 2024, and they added more target competition for Ayomanor, dropping him to 831 yards. Ayomanor was an outside, contested-catch artist at Stanford. He had a career aDOT of 14.1 and a contested catch rate of 48 percent. Of his 216 career targets, 58 were contested. Ayomanor ran a 4.44 forty at the combine and logged jumps over the 90th percentile, giving him a RAS of 9.71. He’s not a massive receiver, but his combination of size and athleticism will earn him a role at the next level. His reliance on winning jump balls and a lack of separation, however, could cap his ceiling.

The Packers are in the mix to take a receiver, potentially on day two of the draft. The team hosted Texas’ Isaiah Bond and Stanford’s Elic Ayomanor for visits. Bond is a shifty receiver under six feet tall while Ayomanor is more of a big body target. The Packers may take a shot on one of these receivers to add a new skillset to a receiver room with lots of draft investment in it over the last few years.
