Typically, when a player is considered among the best at his position nationally, that player has lots of expectations and hype surrounding him.
C.J. Conrad has neither. That might be a good thing for the Kentucky football program.

For many folks—myself included—Conrad’s skill set was not properly utilized during the 2017 season. Playing in only the first eight games of the season due to injury, his fourteen catches were a career-low—although he has yet to catch more than nineteen in any of his three seasons.
