OXFORD, Miss. – The depth and talent of Ole Miss receivers has been on display in Ole Miss’ preseason camp, and it showed again Monday in the Rebels’ sixth workout.

Quarterback Shea Patterson threw back-to-back red zone touchdowns on back-shoulder passes to 6-foot-4 redshirt freshman D.K. Metcalf and junior DaMarkus Lodge, both of whom made the catches in spite of being well-covered.

There were more “wow” moments from the receivers, such as when sophomore A.J. Brown (pictured above) slid in the middle of the field on a crossing pattern to stop his momentum and grab a pass thrown behind him.
