Currently the UCLA Football receiving group is dotted with big time talent. There are big possession receivers, quick twitch slot guys and a few who have the speed to take the top off a defense. The group that typically escapes the minds of media and fans are the walk-on receivers.
The surprise of camp so far has been red-shirt junior WR Christian Pabico. Standing six feet, 190 pounds Pabico isn’t the biggest, strongest or fastest receiver on the team. That hasn’t stopped him from catching almost everything that has come his way during fall camp.
Pabico spent the last few seasons as a member of the UCLA Football scout team helping the active roster prepare for opponents but is now on the cusp of seeing major snaps on offense during the 2017 season.
