Last spring, Texas Longhorns head coach Tom Herman singled out the wide receivers as the position group in which he had the most confidence.
“It’s nice to be able to roll six, seven guys in there and not feel like there’s a massive drop-off,” Herman said in early April.
The problem was that the lack of a coherent rotation and inconsistencies led to a disappointing season in which the only wide receiver with more than two touchdown catches — Armanti Foreman — was benched for long stretches for poor practice performance.
