From Childress to Taurian Washington to Michael Thomas, spring game receiving stars have had varied track records when the regular season actually begins.

In a tradition that goes back to Bam Childress and Taurian Washington, there always seems to be some receiver that has a huge spring game, but then disappears once the actual season starts. With "drafted" spring game rosters that isn't surprising, as quarterbacks are often working with a different set of receivers than they would otherwise. Further, spring games are typically completely unbalanced pass-happy practices under Urban Meyer. Nevertheless, expectations can often get out of hand based on a single datapoint.
