Mississippi State Football: What does JaVonta Payton bring to the 2020 offense?

While the Bulldogs will be more experienced, the speed of the offense is sure to be second to none, primarily due to Payton’s skillset.

At 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Payton is a lethal threat that perfectly fits into Leach led attack. Payton excels in the open field and can blaze by corners on the outside. Like fellow wideout Osirus Mitchell, he should see himself used in numerous packages.

In 2019 Payton posted caught nine balls for 147 yards in 13 games. Quarterback K.J. Costello will have a steady one-two punch in Payton and Mitchell. Expect Payton to be used in the slot as well.
