MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – A challenge? Yes. An opportunity? Absolutely. Plenty of opportunity.

The Central Michigan receiving corps is the least experienced position group on the team heading into the 2018 season. Least experienced, of course, lead to the most question marks.

Gone are the likes of tight end Tyler Conklin and wide receivers Corey Willis and Mark Chapman, a trio that combined to catch 19 touchdown passes and roll up 2,048 receiving yards a year ago.
