There are 4 things I think WRs should emphasize in the gym: 1)- Speed/Explosion 2)- Balance 3)- Stability 4)- Grip Strength 

(and obviously you cannot neglect general upper body and lower body strength- helps you absorb hits when you have a bigger body frame)

The exercises below will help you develop the 4 things mentioned above. 

1)- Weighted Step Ups (one foot on a bench then explosively step up to the bench)

2)- Pistol Squats (helps with stability on one leg)

3)- Hang Cleans (explosion & speed)

4)- Half Jump Squats (only go halfway down then explode up- receivers hardly play below parallel- you can also do 1/4th jump squats or full depth but I feel half give you the greatest benefit)

5)- Farmers Carry (helps with grip strength for catching)

6)- Pull Ups (grip strength for catching)

7)- Any Type Of Core Work (great for balance)

8)- Any type of plyometric training or 1 leg explosive movements  (helps with explosion, stability and often times balance)
