Leo Blackburn

Are you sure you aren't seeing 2 year old news? I don't see anything.
 
Every year man. We can't catch a break. Hopefully he heals soon and we see him eventually
 
Leo was a focal point. Reports from the practice field have been that he is a great talent.
Yea that’s always been the practice report. He has a lot of potential. But also struggled with some simple things, which kept him off the field last year. Hopefully he can take the next step in 24.

Janneh and Lane have played a ton of college football, it’s great to have that experience coming in. Rutherford, too, I think is poised to breakout. He performed very similarly to Nate when he got his shot last year.

Wrong. He suffered a broken wrist like 2 weeks before the season opener and missed more time. That led to the mistakes and he was still never 100% last year.
 
Luckily Key brought in a lot of WR pieces already. Leo was a depth piece more than likely. We have a number of guys with a lot of game experience.
Like who?
The A&M transfer has played in 25 games in three years, with about 40 career receptions. The kid from Bama has one career catch. He's been mostly a special teamer.
Rutherford caught 23 passes last year in 12 games. He's the only wide receiver who registered a catch last year who is back, now that Blackburn is out for the year. Neither Boyd nor BlackStrain caught a pass last year.
We really don't have a lot of experience at receiver.

Broken wrist led to him lining up wrong and running the wrong routes? Those are the things that kept him off the field when he was healthy. He also had more drops than catches.

He has great potential, certainly.

25 games is a lot of college football. You also have Janneh, and Rutherford. So three guys with a good deal of experience that should be ready to go as starters. That isn’t horrible.

The Bama kid I didn’t mention for a reason, we took a flyer on him hoping his speed plays. Anything we get from him is a bonus.
