I did one of these for the OL, I think we can all agree that the OL has a ton of depth, but maybe not a ton of star power.

That's not the case here.

This position is loaded with depth, and a ton of star power.

Jefferson has established himself as the clear #1, and he has earned it, but dat boy better not rest on his laurels, because there are a lot of hungry players here.

I have Jefferson and Anderson as the starters, but I want to put Chase in as well becuase I foresee a lot of 3 WR formations for this offense.

So I will say Jefferson Anderson Chase
then Sullivan Marshall and Dillon

Not trying to be a debbie downer but Lee and Palmer may have no choice but to redshirt, the good thing is they can still see action in games like Utah St and NW St.

It is kind of crazy how deep this position is. I honestly expected attrition from OL and WR moreso than any other position group.


What are yalls best guesses?

Chase is the best talent. If he doesn’t play this year it’s on the coach. Waste too much talent at the wr position

Devonta Lee looks NFL-ready, not just SEC-ready.

Gotta believe he is studying his assignments like a professional in the off-season.

Starters will be
Jefferson, Chase and Sullivan. With Sullivan more of a flex TE. If we bring in a 4th WR then either Marshall or Anderson. But we have a lot of depth.

Jefferson and Chase are the clear cut 1 and 2 and will get most reps. From listening to reports they are trying to do a lot of things with Chase.

Going to be running deep corp otalented receivers in and out against some tired defensive backs. Air Orgeron about to be unleashed.

Just my opinion

Jefferson, Chase, Marshall, Anderson, Dillon/Sullivan

I really like Anderson and I wish we could get him the ball more. Sullivan hasnt showed me much for him to be 6'6-7". i think he has separation issues. You cant ignore Dillon's speed and the plays he made against Auburn and UCF.

Jefferson, Chase and Marshall are your no doubt starting 3 but Anderson, Dillon and Sullivan I’ll all have designed plays where their skill set comes in handy. Jefferson will be the classic #1 WR and possession guy while Chase will be in the slot and move around everywhere. I expect a huge year from Chase. Marshall is the prototype outside receiver and deep ball threat. Anderson and Sullivan will be a big red zone target as well as tough to defend on quick slants where they can box out smaller corners. Dillon will be the speedster slot receiver who does his work over the middle and getting behind the defense. Normally guys like Lee and Palmer would play but we are just stacked right now. They will have to wait their turn. After this year we lose Sullivan, Anderson and Dillon plus Jefferson will be draft eligible so they will have plenty of playing time in 2020.

I'm hoping they involve Dee Anderson in the passing game this season. Has a large catch radius and good hands and pretty good speed.

So I will say Jefferson Anderson Chase


that's who I would like to see also but for some reason it seems the staff doesn't feel the same way about Anderson, or at least hasn't in the past. As far as big receivers go, I like Anderson over Sullivan and even Marshall at this time.

I could see Marshall overtaking Jefferson. He has the potential and should see a lot of playing time.

Off topic but I don’t think Utah State is gonna be a total blowout win that we can play 3rd stringers against. They barely lost to Michigan State last season on the road, went 11-2 and finished ranked #22

I'd guess that Dillon would start before Anderson. Maybe Marshall but it looks like he either had trouble adjusting to the college game as a freshman or maybe the HS injury lingered.
But it's hard to ignore Dillon. When they get him the ball the guy makes plays.

Jefferson, Chase, Anderson (didn't think he was as fast as he is)

This will be base, but I think we rotate those 3 with Sullivan, Dillon, and Marshall in different packages.

When they go 4 wide, Marshall steps in, and Sullivan at 5 wide.

I expect us to throw it a lot this year. Last year we were averaging nearly 30 passes per game, and I think that goes up to anywhere from 32-35. Add in 40-44 carries,, and we are going to be a pretty quick paced offense.
