Losing Rondale Moore sucks. You never replace a guy like that instantly. Sheffield has the potential to ease that burden however. We saw glimpses of it last year too. Sheffield saw action in three games as a true freshman but got hurt against Minnesota and never returned the rest of the year. He was projected as a slot receiver and was probably the main backup for Moore, but when both went down Jackson Anthrop stepped back into the role.
