2022 didn’t go according to plan for Cedric Tillman. The senior receiver was supposed to have a massive year, coming off of his breakout 2021 campaign. Tillman went over 1,000 yards last season and chose to come back for more in 2022, choosing not to enter the NFL Draft. However, a high ankle sprain cost him half his season.

Tillman underwent tightrope surgery to help speed up the recovery process. He ended up missing the Florida, LSU and Alabama games, eventually returning against Kentucky. He just never quite was able to get back to form.
