So I looked at our receiving stats from last year


And I don't have a conclusion yet, or even point, other than to perhaps spur on some discussion

We completed 250 passes for 3300 yards and 29 TDs to all receivers.
We lose to the portal our #2 WR in terms of catches, yards, and TDs.
WRs as a whole produced about 76% of the passing offense, with their TDs making up the highest percentage of production.
TE/HBs produced about 15%, again with their TDs being the highest percentage production.
RBs produced about 10% of catches & yards, but only 1 TD all year.
We lose our most productive RB in terms of receiving in every category but ypc (and of course scored the only TD).

RBs could stand to be more productive (& explosive) in the passing game, but who could manage that? McClease? Holston? Steward? King?

AT WR the departures of Savoy & Kumah create 2 obvious spots to be filled in terms of reps, but in terms of production, it will be interesting to see how and who shakes out. Turner will almost certainly become at least the #2 in production (probably #1). Patterson could certainly step up. Simmons, Ellis, & Bowick seem best poised to step in

TE/HB is interesting. Keene seems under utilized to me, and we hear a LOT about Mitchell's potential. In terms of Cunningham's loss in production, however, there isn't much. Maybe the position becomes more of a weapon?

Any comments/thoughts/predictions for the receiving game?
