Indiana wide receiver Elijah Sarratt had an opportunity to take the field and boost his draft stock with an intense workout in Indianapolis at the NFL Combine.
Instead, Sarratt chose to skip positional drills and only participate in medical and off-field activities. That trend has become more common with each passing year.
Elijah Sarratt’s Scouting Report and NFL Draft Projection
Here is Sarratt’s scouting report from the PFSN Mock Draft Simulator.
“Elijah Sarratt has been one of the most productive WRs in college football since 2022, and he maintained that reputation this year. He eclipsed 1,000 yards with James Madison in 2023 and led the Indiana Hoosiers in catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns during the team’s surprise CFB Playoff campaign in 2024. In 2025, he set a career-high with 15 TDs, distinguishing himself as a deadly catch-point and red-zone threat at the highest level of competition.”
At 6’2″, 209 pounds, Sarratt embodies the type of WR mold that has long divided opinions on the NFL draft circuit. He’s not the most explosive option, nor does he bring top-end seam-stretching speed, but he carries the foot quickness, sink, and tempo IQ needed to create separation on his own.
At the catch point, he’s a polished converter and a true late-hands specialist, showing remarkable composure, timing instincts and body control. That same toughness and play strength carry over into the RAC phase and into his blocking, where Sarratt consistently gives effort and plays with intelligence.
The scouting report added: “Athletic traits do matter, but elite execution supersedes them at the NFL level, and Sarratt is a platinum-level operator who has the sky-high floor to underlie tantalizing usage versatility, production upside, and utility as a chain-mover and red-zone trump card.”
PFSN’s most recent mock draft has Sarratt going in the third round to the Jacksonville Jaguars as another potential weapon for Trevor Lawrence.
Sarratt’s NFL Combine Results and Measurements
While Sarratt did not work out on the field, he did measure in with the rest of the receivers, and the results were about as expected.

Sarratt’s most significant asset, as noted above, is his size, both in height and in his hands. His 10-inch hands make him a potential weapon in contested-catch situations, which is where he thrived at Indiana.
Perhaps the reason Sarratt didn’t work out at the combine is that he can lean on his production in college. There’s less projection for someone like Sarratt because of how much he played in college and how he performed.
Sarratt caught 65 passes for the Hoosiers in their national championship season and showed a nose for the end zone with 15 touchdowns.
He scored at least 8 touchdowns in all four of his collegiate seasons. Despite not testing at the combine, it seems unlikely that Sarratt will fall far down draft boards.
