In the Huddle: The frustrations of being a receiver

Mizzou has seen its fair share of talent at the wide receiver position over the past decade.

We’re not so far removed from the likes of Jeremy Maclin, Danario Alexander, Tommy Saunders, Jared Perry, and Will Franklin. And yet, from the perimeter has emerged outstanding players such as L’Damian Washington, Jerrell Jackson, Wes Kemp, Bud Sasser, Jimmy Hunt, DGB, Marcus Lucas, J’Mon Moore and others. All have held the honor of not only electrifying Faurot Field on game days throughout their careers, but being fortunate enough to take their talents to the next level.

From a young age, young boys dream of being the guy who catches the passes: who gets their name called; who streaks downfield past defenders; who makes the ESPN Top 10; who makes defenders miss en route to the end zone.
