Passing game and receiver room

Does anyone believe we don't have enough talent for our WRs to get open if the routes and play calling are solid? I find it hard to believe we don't have 3 good WRs that can make some things happen if the plays make it happen.

We need at least four or five. Three should be no problem

We have the talent at WR, and we should have the experience. But, we do not have much real game experience outside of Dike, Wilson, and Jackson. As you know, WR's have to know how to run good routes to get open, break free from being jammed at the line, as well as be excellent blockers. Even Fraziars and Burke have not been regulars, and lack big, game-time, experience. Yes, they have some experience, they just have never emerged. Burke appears to be coming on, but we say that every Spring! We are young at the receiver group, yet extremely talented at backups. If Burke and Mizell are really stepping up their game, then who else will emerge? Outside of Fraziars, the others are freshman. I think it could be Andy Jean, but he can't seem to remain healthy. And, he does not have a ton of experience! If Jean stays with the program, he could eventually be one of our best WR's. Clearly, his issue is staying healthy. I borrowed this least from SI a few months ago:

Early 2024 Gators WR Depth Chart Projection

Outside backups: Ja'Quavion Fraziars (Sr.), Andy Jean (r-Fr.), Aidan Mizell (r-Fr.), TJ Abrams (Fr.), Marcus Burke (r-Jr.)

Slot: Eugene Wilson III (So.)

Slot backup: Tank Hawkins (Fr.)

Young, but a solid lineup, especially if Jean can get healthy. I seem to remember reports that he was looking good before he was injured.

Mizell looks hard to cover to me

I agree. I doubt you could cover him

I can’t cover Dez. Nah, I think I can but he would just take my gravity
