2016 Vanderbilt Football Position Previews: Wide Receiver

C.J. Duncan returns from injury to join a receiving corps that could use the help.

If you want an idea of what kind of offense Derek Mason and Andy Ludwig are going to run, here are some key numbers as Mason enters his third season as head coach.

Vanderbilt has eight scholarship wide receivers on the roster. The Commodores also have six tight ends, and seven running backs (including fullbacks.) And one of those "receivers" is Darrius Sims, who frequently lines up in the backfield.

In other words: Mason and company aren't planning to run a lot of three- and four-receiver sets.
