The position previews roll on, as we will look into the wide receiver position today. It will be a new look of sorts for the offense as Tyler Boyd has taken his talents to the NFL. Pitt was so reliant on Boyd these past three seasons, and it will be interesting to see how the offense will change it's philosophy without such a presence on the field. Like with the other previews in this series, I spent time talking on MarkRogersTV a few months back about the position.
Projected Starters
-- Dontez Ford 6'2" 210 Senior / 2015 stats - 26 catches, 505 yards, 2 Touchdowns
-- Zach Challingsworth 6'2" 200 Junior / 2015 stats - 12 catches, 171 yards, 1 Touchdown
As the lone senior in the bunch, Dontez Ford assumes the role as a leader in this unit.
