Hearing that Drake Davis will be a starter in 3 wide receiver sets before end of year and future first round pick.

He's good but not gonna pass Dupre and Dural day 1. The important thing is we have depth

Drake is great and will get PT this year. I don't see him starting in 3 WO sets until next year. We will lose Chi and Dupre after next season and Davis will get plenty of PT.

Not sure why so many people say things like "No way"

Patrick Peterson eventually became a starter his freshman year. I recognize depth can contribute to this, but it's not like our receivers were setting the world on fire.. regardless what they were ranked coming out of HS.

Drake Davis has elite level type of talent. I truly hope they find a way to utilize him day one. No one said he was starting over the top 2 receivers.. but it's not impossible he ends up starting over any of the others.. even a guy like Johnson who is only 1 year up on him. It's not like he's some huge vet. Drake Davis is a potential game breaker.. and it would be somewhat disappointing not to utilize him.. even as a freshman.

A third receiver is like a warm body on the field for a Les Miles offense. It doesn't matter who starts

He has the immense talent to do so and on a ton of FBS football teams he would be a day one starter.

It's not like young guys don't pass up people all the time. I mean look at Toliver for corner, or Teuhema for guard, or Key for DE, etc. Jeremy Hill passed up Ware, Ford, Hilliard, and Magee to lead the team in rushing in 2012.

I heard he's a better route runner than people give him credit for as well. Taking that year with IMG definitely helped him out. I know we are pretty stacked with talent there, but I wouldn't count him out of being a big contributer later on in the year.

I doubt he passes anyone up completely, but I would be shocked if he didn't get significant playing time this year.

Give him some time, no doubt he's going to be a stud.
