We actually have lots of guys who can catch a five yard pass and take it to the house.

Chris Tolliver is a speedster.

John Williams is an all-around athlete who has just been overshadowed by other all-around athletes to this point. He was at one time considered as a punt returner, and he apparently played a heck of a Josh Nesbitt in Ga Tech bowl prep.

Drayton Calhoun is supposedly electric with the ball in his hand.

Then there is always "crazy legs" Murphy.

Any of these guys could be a serviceable slot receiver, and present a dangerous threat the defense would need to account for.

ETA: That is, of course, if we actually use the slot receiver, which we wouldn't do (and that is Stagg's point).

i would love to see LSU recruit the typical texas tech type inside slot receiver. with the LSU problems at quarterback coupled with the SEC speed of linebackers, a quick pass to a doucet type player would be $$$.

Well maybe one of these guys will turn out to be that type of player. The guy we had were not in the same class as ED.
