There's been plenty of hype around Cameron Rayner as a potential number one pick at next month's draft, but the youngster isn't fazed by the media circus. 

The explosive, tough and quick forward/midfielder is taking it all in his stride. 

“That’s pretty exciting, you see a little bit on social media but I’m not really too worried about it,” Rayner said. 

Rayner boasts explosive speed and loves a fend-off, many drawing comparisons between the Western Jets' product and recent Brownlow Medallist, Dustin Martin.

“It’s the way I’ve played since I was a little kid so hopefully that can translate into the high footy [level].”

While a knee injury kept Rayner out of testing at the Draft Combine last week, he’s proven himself where it matters most, on the field. 

“It’s been a long year so the body’s a bit sore but just excited to see what will happen in the next couple of months,” he said. 

“I’m not too stressed out, everyone’s been really supportive.”

One thing for certain is the determination and resilience of the explosive game-changer, even a potential move interstate not putting Rayner off chasing his dream. 

“I’ve been wanting to play footy since I was a kid, so I’d move half way across the world to play.”

Another modest hopeful, Jaidyn Stephenson, who isn't daunted by the media hype of landing in the top ten. 

“It is nice for people to say, but I’d be happy to go anywhere to be honest,” he said. 

Stephenson has played more around the ball late in the season, having previously made his name as a forward. 

“I’ve pushed up in the midfield and worried more about trying to find the ball [rather than kicking goals].”

Stephenson excelled in both the Yo-Yo testing and two-kilometre time trial at the Combine.

His natural endurance and ability to read the game spurred by his efforts and desire to hunt the ball makes him a draft standout for clubs.
