“I think we have weapons in that room, and obviously weapons are a huge part of modern college football.”
That’s Mike Elko’s succinct analysis of Duke’s wide receiver corps.
Duke may not have a star at wide receiver, although they have an emerging talent who might reach that level; more on that later. But they have depth, experience and lots of options for sophomore quarterback Riley Leonard.
Through the first six games, 15 different Duke wide receivers have notched a reception. Senior Eli Pancol had an 81-yard reception against Northwestern. Fellow senior Jalon Calhoun had a 51-yard catch against the Wildcats and a 40-yarder at Kansas.
