It is no secret that Georgia Tech doesn’t choose to pass the ball too often, but few understand that the wide receiver position is still one of much importance. The wide receiver is responsible for sealing the edge so A-backs can turn up the sideline for explosive plays. When the ball does come through the air, receivers must be ready to win their one-on-one matchups against the corner.
Over the years, Tech has produced an impressive list of NFL receivers, including Calvin Johnson and Demaryius Thomas who were first round picks, and more recently Darren Waller and DeAndre Smelter, both taken in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL draft.
