The SEC had four 1,000-yard receivers last season – third-most among the Power Five conferences, behind the Pac-12 (six) and Big 12 (five) – and three return this season.
Issues at quarterback may keep each of those three from reaching the plateau again, but this will be an instance where the stats don’t tell the whole story.
The SEC has a handful of truly elite receivers and another dozen or so who could be legitimate go-to receivers for a Power Five team. The “problem” is that some of those dozen or so play on a team that has a different guy as the No.
