During the Yellow Jackets’ magical Orange Bowl run in 2014, one of the more overlooked strengths of the team was its two major receiving threats on the perimeter — DeAndre Smelter (now of the 49ers) and Darren Waller (now of the Ravens). After the season, each graduated and were taken in the NFL Draft, leaving Georgia Tech with a couple of holes to fill heading into 2015. The Yellow Jackets did so with the trio of juniors Ricky Jeune and Micheal Summers, and true freshman Brad Stewart. The results were, predictably, a downgrade from the previous year. After Smelter and Waller combined for 61 catches, 1,157 yards, and 13 TD’s in 2014, the new trio combined for only 43 catches, 791 yards, and 6 TD’s last year.
