Tennessee Football: Should Butch Jones and Mike DeBord Need to Shorten the Vols Wide Receiver Rotation in 2016

For four years, Butch Jones has consistently made headlines for stocking up on wide receivers in recruiting. The success in that realm created heavy expectations year in and year out for the Vols at the position.

But four years later, there really hasn’t been a wide receiver who has lived up to his hype yet.

Marquez North had the chance, but he suffered injuries down the stretch.

But in three years, the most receiving yards anybody got in a year under Jones was Pig Howard when he picked up 618 in 2014.

The other two years, nobody has gone over 500.
