Matt Harmon cites Drake London as a prospect comparable to Tetairoa McMillan, noting London was 'slightly better' as a prospect. Harmon highlights that a key part of unlocking Drake London's production was moving him from X-only alignment to 30%+ slot usage, using him more off-the-ball than on-the-ball over the last two seasons. Under Arthur Smith (years 1–2), London was at 85% and 82% on-ball snap alignment as a pure X receiver; under Zack Robinson in a motion-heavy, Z receiver role, he dropped to 47% and 46.7%. This demonstrates how offensive scheme and role flexibility can dramatically shift on-ball alignment percentages, and Harmon suggests McMillan could see similar production gains by increasing to 30%+ slot usage.PositiveNewsJul 31, 2026

1) Still love this 2022 class of WRs. So many awesome players. 2) Love the idea of Year 5 being the peak of their powers for WRs and this class in their 4th season were a real good example case for this. I would argue that several guys like Pickens, Olave, Pierce, London, Doubs, Watson and probably more were easily the best versions of themselves in isolation in Year 4. Could argue they all set the table well for Year 5 peaks. While everyone wants to be quick to judge, my general thought is i...PositiveValueJul 17, 2026
The analyst would take Drake London over Rashee Rice and Zay Flowers, and considers him very close to Chris Olave, indicating he is undervalued relative to those peers in the market.PositiveProjectionJul 17, 2026
Drake London is a top-10 receiver in the NFL even when judged purely on production metrics, ranking among elite company including Puka Nacua, JSN, Ja'Marr Chase, George Pickens, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and CeeDee Lamb.PositiveUsageJul 17, 2026

Drake London was on pace to have a strong statistical season last year, averaging 76.6 yards per game (seventh at WR) with 2.61 yards per route run, and would have maintained that pace had he stayed healthy.PositiveProjectionJul 17, 2026
Matt Harmon argues Drake London's production metrics are elite despite offensive context limitations: 7th in NFL in yards per route run, 28.7% target rate (incredibly high), and top-10 receiver ranking even by pure production standards. Harmon emphasizes that London's stats would improve significantly if placed in a better offensive system like the Los Angeles Rams or Detroit Lions, suggesting current production undervalues his true talent and opportunity ceiling.PositiveValueJul 16, 2026

Matt Harmon expresses surprise that Nico Collins could outproduce Drake London this year despite London being drafted ahead of Collins in draft order. Harmon loves Drake London but cites uncertainty around the Falcons offense with Michael Penix Jr. as quarterback and Tatum Tonoa as a competing pass catcher. London offers more role safety relative to Collins due to his established role and despite missing games last year, but Harmon still prefers Collins given London's injury history and the uncertainty around the Falcons' offensive cohesion.PositiveNewsApr 7, 2026
Most don't ever really get attempted, which is the bigger risk here. And yea Drake London definitely doesn't fall into this bucket of WRs. Gonna go over some of the recent history of these attempted conversions on my YT channel soon. <https://x.com/NickOnFire1490/status/2041299872486166613?s=20> [Quoted](
