Purdue has a veritable cornucopia of veteran options at wide receiver. Will the new offense finally allow them to put up some yards, and more importantly, touchdowns?
Purdue enters the 2016-2017 season with an experienced and talented depth chart at wide receiver. In fact, wide receiver may be the deepest position group on the squad. Add in the fact that the position has been simplified with the euthanasia of the Shoopfence, and Purdue could even be a little bit of a match-up nightmare on the outside. In theory, the wide receiver position should be the best unit because Coach Hazell is a former wide receiver coach, which, if nothing else, should bode well in talent evaluation.
