It was no hiding the wide receivers struggled early on in the season. The plethora of trick plays that Coach Brohm used during the season is a testament to that, as he was trying to create big plays.
Early on, Jackson Anthrop was our best wide receiver, a lightly recruited, local star, playing slot receiver. He is very reliable, but the big play was not there at all times.
We turned Jared Sparks into a wide receiver, just to get some more athleticism and play making ability on the outside. A place where he will now stay for the remainder of his career.
