4.07 Arizona Outlaws - WR Aaron Mellette

In the real world: Mellette and Grand Valley State wideout Charles Johnson were the small school darlings of this year's NFL Draft. With the ability to make catches in traffic and win with technical route running, Mellette, drafted by the Ravens out of Elon in Round 7, could be a possession receiver in the NFL. The job situation is promising with the Ravens, where they have Torrey Smith, Jacoby Jones, Tandon Doss, Tommy Streeter, and not much else. Jones, in particular, seems better suited as a slot receiver than a #2, so you could argue that Mellette has a relatively easy path to the Ravens' #2 WR job.
In the TUFF world: As I mentioned back at 1.07, the Outlaws were looking for help at wide receiver, and Mellette's as good as or better than any of the other WRs left on the board at this point.
