Minnesota wide receivers Tyler Johnson and Rashod Bateman have been named First Team All-Big Ten by the coaches and media. This is the first time in conference history that a single Big Ten school has two wide receivers on the First Team ballot together, according to Minnesota Football.
Johnson and Bateman posted a combined 131 catches, 2,284 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2019. They are the only duo in school history to each accumulate more than 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. Bateman and Johnson helped spark one of the most explosive passing attacks this program has ever produced.
