After watching this, I'm thinking he's going to be that Bumphis slot WR....I think he can break Chad's TD mark too. Reminds me of Deshean Jackson in a way with his ball skills and hips. Sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders too. Nice job Mullen.

I think that's exactly where he'll play. I think that's where he's best, and we have plenty of DBs committed. Personally, I question whether Holloway is a true fit for that spot; he has tons of speed, but I'm not sure how elusive he is, he may be more of a home-run threat.

So it wouldn't surprise me to see Graham take over that slot as a rFr.

Holloway needs to return kick offs, take the speed sweep handoff, and run nine routes.

We do need a slot guy that can step in immediately. We're one injury away from not having a receiving threat in that spot next season.

Plus, we lose Lewis after next season. This is a position of need, without Graham it's a position of concern.

Graham doesn't want to redshirt and shouldn't.

not sure we'd even give him the choice to RS.

That's fine with me.

Agree, but holloway needs to work on catching balls over the shoulder as he left 3-4 Tds on the field this season.

Agree. Do you think Ross can be a slot guy? If so, it'll be Ross & graham behind Lewis next year right?

That's not really what he is, but I'm sure he could do it in a pinch.

I think Gabe Myles is transitioning to the slot position. I think it's a great idea since the guy runs around a 4.4 with pads on.

Ah, yes, forgot about that. I'm not sure it's permanent yet, I think they were just trying it out, but with our depth in the secondary, it's probably a good idea.
