For all but a handful of teams in college football, replacing the production of a James Washington-like talent is a next-to-impossible task. For all but a select few of that handful, replacing a 1,000+ yard duo in Washington and Marcell Ateman would spell absolute doom the following season.
That’s the job facing receivers coach Kasey Dunn. And yet the biggest question isn’t whether they can get production out of the receivers, it’s who will get that production. The talent pool is as deep as any position on the roster. It’s a matter of sorting out duties and finding fits that will be the biggest hurdle in 2018.
