While the bulk of the ratings of the prior units has been taking units as a whole and looking at collective stats, now we turn our attention to the individualists: the receivers.
We tend to rate the quality of a passing offense by its quarterback and while its hard to be good at throwing the ball without good receivers, its pretty easy to sink at passing stats with good receivers. So here, we are looking at individual stats more than the overall passing offense.
46 players had over 300 receiving yards last season in the SEC, which seems like a decent baseline, and of those, 23 receivers return (well, maybe… we’ll get into it).
