#2 Receiver

[HoleInTheRoof]

We had a decent 1-2 with Malone and Jennings last year.
With Malone leaving, seems like Jennings naturally fills the #1 receiver role.

Who has the best shot at stepping up as the #2 receiver?

Needs to be Byrd

Solid off-season thread.

Probably Byrd. But I think it depends on how the rotation works out. IMO, find 2-3 WRs other than Jennings and keep the rotation small.

 

[cornjar]

My guess would be Callaway.

 

[46yrvol]

Already, in his freshman season, I had the same thoughts about Byrd as I did seeing Kamara in his freshman season. Gotta get him the ball more.

 

[eskimovol]

I thought the consensus from spring practice was that Callaway was looking like the #2 guy.

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

Callaway. He seems to have the edge right now.

 

[Boca Vol]

Jennings, Byrd, Callaway is not a bad trio.

 

[3rdDegreeVol]

Don't forget Brandon Johnson

 

[volmandu]

I would go with Callaway as 2nd and Byrd as 3rd guy. Lets not forget Josh Smith. A healthy Josh Smith with all that experience could be a solid #2 guy if Callaway doesn't live up to hype or gets injured.

 

[KINGSVOL]

I know this is a 2nd reciever thread but the way Dormady was throwing at the spring game, AND Wolf catching the ball, Wolf might be the 2nd highest yardage reciever!

 

[MemphisVol77]

Byrd needs to stay in the slot.

How tall is he? I'm not certain he could be more effective as the #2WR than he is in the slot.

I'm hoping Josh stays healthy and has a good year.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Jeff George.........gonna get his skinny act 2gether.

 

[ReelfootVol]

Seems like Josh Smith has been playing 5 or 6 years. Glad we have him but how many years has he played ???

 

[lovavol]

Byrd. wish he was on D. lockdown 1 side

 

[EricberryFAN]

Callaway.

Yeah, I agree. I think Jennings and Callaway have bodies for the outside while Byrd can work the middle.

 

[avolation]

Callaway will be 2a and Byrd 2b. Hopefully Byrd will be used in multiple ways; jet sweeps, motions, slants and outs, anything where he can get the ball in space.

WR1: Jauan Jennings
Josh Smith/Jeff George

Slot: Tyler Bryd
Latrell Williams

WR2: Marquez Callaway
Brandon Johnson/Jordan Murphy

Something like this. JMO

Jeff George is a wildcard.

Tyler Byrd, hands down. It's Byrd

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Needs to be Byrd

Needs to be the 2nd best WR!

Byrd/Calloway/Healthy Josh Smith are all possibilities with lots of talent.

L. Williams will be the sleeper guy IMO.

However, if the O&W game is any indication, #2 Rec could be TE Ethan Wolf.

 

[Vol Kilmer]

Look at last years passing stats:

Jennings got 580 yds last year. Seemed like he did a lot better than that.

Wolf got 239 yds
Byrd 209 yds
Callaway only got 13 yds on 1 catch.

Hard to believe from those stats, but I still think Dormady throws for over 3,500 yds this year with his eyes shut.

Preston Williams really jumped ship a little early, didn't he?

Jmho, but I don't think George will be a factor at all. I think it's Jennings, Byrd, Callaway and Brandon Johnson. If Josh Smith is healthy he contributes a bit as well and perhaps Latrell Williams' very good spring translates as well.
