Will Likely could be quite a weapon for Maryland's offense

Likely was one of the team's most effective players when he saw time on offense against Penn State, but how much time can he see before his defensive play suffers?

Maryland cornerback Will Likely went in for one play on offense in the team's loss at Ohio State, but against Penn State this Saturday, interim head coach Mike Locksley loosened his grip on the Likely-offense leash quite a bit.

Putting Likely in on offense makes sense. He's a tremendous open-field runner who excels at making people miss and breaking tackles, and has many of the same attributes as Stefon Diggs, whom he stole the punt-return job from upon his arrival to College Park.
