On Oct. 22, 2016, Kahlil Lewis had himself a day. In a win against the East Carolina Pirates, he caught 11 passes for 150 yards and three touchdowns. If there was any doubt that Lewis had what it took to be a standout wide receiver, they were squashed that day. That made for some rather heavy expectations for his junior campaign last fall. Such expectations could have been too much.
Spoilers. They were not.
In his junior season, Lewis performed better than any other pass-catcher for the Cincinnati Bearcats and by quite a large margin.
