Green Bay, WI (WGR Sports Radio 550) - The Buffalo Bills have selected wide receiver Kaden Prather out of Maryland with the 240th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Prather finished his collegiate career with 162 catches and 1,966 yards and 12 touchdowns in 48 games. This was split between his time at West Virginia from 2021 to 2022 and Maryland from 2023 to 2024.
During Prather's two-years at Maryland, he was able to tally 98 receptions for 1,290 yards and 9 touchdowns.
NFL analyst Lance Zierlein says:
"Outside receiver with size and speed to create advantages downfield. Prather is not explosive -- though he builds and carries speed to create deep windows -- and needs to do a better job of finishing routes and catches. He’s too leggy and tight-hipped to beat man coverage over the first two levels and he’s not a natural pass catcher in traffic. Prather is a niche option as a field-stretcher with good height, weight and speed, but he might need to prove he can play special teams to give himself a legitimate roster shot."
