As I wonder each week if the concept of the white wide receiver is dead and there seems so little hope I turn your attention to the Thursday and Friday night TV games.
I know I sound negative but chances are the three wide receivers I will briefly describe below will have flat games. Why would I say such a thing? Because that has been the pattern this year where no white wide receiver can sustain consistent performances that makes one think they are down the road viable candidates for the NFL draft. So I figure things will turn out badly as that has been the running theme thus far this season.
Hell Clemson stud S Tanner Muse hurt his hamstring I believe. The crap keeps piling up.
That said we can always hope for the best. Three wide outs. All sophomores. All talented. Worth discussing anyway.
East Carolina--coming off a big play 2-100-1 stat line Blake Proehl has a 20-283-2 stat line after five games. Great bloodlines. Thursday night game.
Cincy-- With NFL size and speed Alec Pierce has a 14-277-1 stat line after four games. Coming off a 100 yard game. He was a Big ten target in high school.
Penn--Ryan Cragun has a sterling 16-273-2 after only two games. He will be on Friday night against Dartmouth.
The fact that these players are only sophomores is encouraging but while I am always hoping for the best I expect something bad to happen. But I will be watching rooting for them like crazy.
A cautionary tale would be senior San Jose State WR Bailey Gaither. A baseball burner who chose football Gaither looked like a big play threat but has been side tracked by injuries and just being ignored as his career has stumbled forward. Last season he had a 16-327-3 stat line displaying his speed and this year his stat line is 13-268. He has little chance of being drafted. We can only hope the fate of the sophomores mentioned above turn out better.
All four of these players will be on televised games.
