Which wide receiver is: the fastest, runs correct routs, has the best hands,and can run after the catch.
 
We aren't thinking outside of the box. We have an excess of good RBs and a seeming shortage of quality WRs. If push came to shove one or more of the RBs could play some wide receiver--at least the slot receiver position, IMHO. Lets see what happens in the summer after the frosh WRs are in camp--if Weah or someone from that group doesn't step up--using an RB as the slot receiver remains an option,IMHO.
 
call me nuts, call me crazy but im actually liking the possibility of our WR core.. Ford, Tipton, Weah, and Henderson have some potential. Add in Mr. Wonderful at tight end and that isn't too bad.. Challingsworth on some passing down packages and there you have it.. 5 Wrs is all you need.. Gives us an opportunity to redshirt our incoming WRs.. Really up to Weah and Tipton to perform to their talents though..

Lets not forget, GA and Parrish for some dump downs in the flat.. We are gonna have a very good running game, all we need is an adequate passing attack. Just enough to keep the safeties honest
 
Based on the moves he made in returning the opening kickoff in the bowl game, you'd have to say that Henderson should be the best in running after the catch. He has some great lateral quickness to make people miss. Just hope he's big enough to stay healthy.

If Jester Weah is learning to catch the ball with confidence - and there seems to be at least of glimpse of evidence in that direction -- would put a whole different outlook on the WR group.

Go PItt.
 
I've said before that I like Ford as a #2 receiver.
Not as confident as a #1. Hopefully someone can step up to fill that role.
 
best way to get the receivers confidence is to get a good running game. They will look a whole lot better with 1 on 1 coverage
