Vanderbilt Football 2022 Position Preview: Wide Receivers

In fact, combined with a quarterback coming off a solid campaign as a true freshman, the passing game figured to be good — limited somewhat by an inexperienced offensive line, but this didn’t seem like a problem.
But of the three receivers who caught 25 or more passes in 2020, one (Cam Johnson) was a bit of a disappointment last season, another (Amir Abdur-Rahman) was really a disappointment, and Chris Pierce... well, he did fine, emerging as the team’s leading receiver in 2021, though he only caught two touchdown passes.
