Other than QB, WR is quite possibly the position group I’m most excited about for next year and the next few years. Just look at the group coming back. And this doesn’t include the possibility of D’Eriq King and Kyle Postma moving to WR if they end up behind Bowman Sells on the QB depth chart. The only WR we’re losing is Chance Allen!

Throw in another 3* WR in Jeremy Singleton and we are stacked for years to come. Now let’s all pray one of these QBs will be able to get them the ball.

I love what we saw out of Isaiah Johnson towards the end of the season.

If Isaiah Johnson figures out how to catch a deep ball, look out! Kid has serious speed, but needs to work on his hands.

Johnson’s got track speed, but he makes some of the most questionable decisions. His fumble in the Cincy game when we were driving that led to a TD the other way was almost a back-breaker.

He’s got all the tools, but he’s got to put it together on the field during games.

This is a very good WR corp with many weapons. Should be interesting to see who gets playing time this year.
