2016 had

But 2021 had

Boutte 509
Jenkins 502
Bech 489
Nabers 417
Thomas Jr. 359
Palmer 344

I would be remiss if I didn't remind folks about 2019:

Chase 1780
Jefferson 1540
Marshall 671
Moss 570
CEH 453
McMath 285
Dillon 202

That's 7 players with over 200 yards. 20 players recorded a reception for the season (including 1 by Joe Burrow) and a whopping 9 of those recorded 10 or more receptions.

From a passing/receiving standpoint, it was the equivalent to over 2 seasons of good-to-great passing game and close to 3 years of more typical pass game production for LSU.
