With the 96th overall selection in the 2012 NFL Draft the St. Louis Drams have selected Chris Givens, a wide receiver for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.
Givens is one of the most accomplished wide receivers in Demon Deacon history, as in his three year career he ranks third all-time in school history with 2,741 receiving yards and third with 21 career touchdowns. Givens set school records during the 2011 season when he caught 83 passes for 1,330 yards.
He has blazing speed and is a straight-line runner that has drawn comparisons to Philadelphia’s Jeremy Maclin. He could be an immediate No. 2 option for a team.
The Rams' next selection will be No. 150 overall in the fifth round.
