FSU will lose 63 percent of its receptions and 62 percent of its receiving yards among eligible receivers going into the 2017 season.
Juniors Travis Rudolph and Dalvin Cook have declared for the NFL Draft and seniors Kermit Whitfield and Jesus “Bobo” Wilson have exhausted eligibility.
FSU does return Auden Tate, Nyqwan Murray and tight ends Ryan Izzo and Mavin Saunders. This group combined made up 33 percent of the receptions and 37 percent of its receiving yards in 2016.
One important factor is this group made up 52 percent of the ‘Noles touchdown receptions in 2016.
