SEASON PREVIEW: Wide Receiver

[DMoney]

Camp starts tomorrow, so we’re breaking down the depth chart for each position group. We’ve already done quarterback and running back. Next up is wide receiver:

THE TOP FOUR

Xavier Restrepo

The kid who didn’t even rank as a Top 3 WR in Miami’s own signing class is now a consensus Top 10 WR in the nation. After an injury-marred 2022, Restrepo took his game to a new level with 85 catches, 1,092 yards and 6 TDs. He played most of the season in the 210+-pound...

Unless we start running 4 wides regularly, I’m dying to see who gets more action - Brown or Horton. That has to be one of the main questions entering camp.

Lol, just had to throw some Restrepo bait out there.

all due respect my friend but that question was answered the day Brown signed up to play for Miami

I’m a huge Horton believer but Brown and Restrepo are going to get the most snaps. Brown is really really **** good

This team is so loaded. Can't wait for this season.

According to my dynasty in College Football 25, Trader is impossible for teams to cover in the slot.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but have we ever used Restrepo in motion to the backfield as a second-back? I think that would be interesting since it would put stress on a LB to keep up with him instead of a slot-corner. Run play-action with Martinez and have dump offs in the flat (Restrepo) or something with more imagination.

most real part of the game imo

I think Brown will be the alpha receiver of this group

There is no question lol its brown

There is no question lol its brown

That was my understanding as well, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. I just thought it was interesting that D$ kept Horton on that top group.

Sort of what I was getting at - why is Horton included with X, Brown and JG in the top group?

Exciting potential for sure. I think he will be better than Young here but the depth at the position is as good as it’s been in decades. Guys like Horton, Ray Ray, Trader, Carr fighting for snaps? That’s a **** of a good problem to have. Guys like George and Brown are gonna have some dogs nipping at their heels

Feels good

Sperman thinks Sam Brown is the best receiver on the rooster

This isn’t even a question. The answer is Brown.

 

[bAMACANE]

If JG gets more physical he can be a top a 3rd-4th round pick IMO.

Idk about using him as a 2nd RB but we've definitely motioned him inside and used him as a 2nd Left Tackle frequently.

I worded that poorly. I meant to say I was surprised that Horton was included in the top group, hence the comment about running 4 wides.

[cway313]

I'd buy it.
