Success in the 2018 Gopher football may depend on the receiving corps. Wouldn’t it be nice if Eric Decker could come back for a few games this Fall? He’s got free time now that he’s retired from the NFL. Statistically Decker (or Ron Johnson) could be the greatest ride receiver the Gophers have ever had, with Eric holding the program record for career yards, and he also has the most receptions ( career 277, single season record holder too for 84 grabs in 2008).

Which WR is best is a fun discussion I encourage you to have in the comments, but right now I’m going to transition to Eric’s best game in maroon and gold, October 4th 2007 vs the Indiana Hoosiers at the Metrodome.
