Usually when you think deep threat, you think of a 6'4 receiver who can burn a secondary but for the Boilermakers, their top "deep threat" is kicker Carson Wiggs.  Wiggs has shown a big leg but took it to another level in the Purdue spring game.  Wiggs connected on a 67-yard field goal at the end of the first half. 

Wiggs has said that he wants to attempt a 70-yarder but game situations have never really made that a possibility.  Wiggs has a huge leg and is someone to consider (as much as you can consider a kicker) on draft day.
