2. Wide Receiver

I don’t think many Ole Miss fans would argue with the fact that wide receiver is the deepest position group on the roster this year.  Laquon Treadwell may be gone but in are freshmen Van Jefferson, A.J. Brown, Tre Nixon and D.K. Metcalf. Veterans like Demorea Stringfellow and Quincy Adeboyejo return as the leading receivers.

Another player we can put in the group of receivers is tight end Evan Engram. He has been a steady receiving option in his career and acts as a slot receiver more than a tight end.

This group of pass catching options is probably a top 10 national receiving group. While the leader of the group went on to the NFL, there are plenty of guys waiting in line for several years to come.
