Wide receivers coach
David Corley, Jr.:
“We have some talented players in this group who I see being a great fit for what we are trying to do offensively. Our focus this spring is on developing and defining roles for all our receivers, matching their strengths within the system. Coming into the fall, I want to see our group playing faster in the offense, which will come with spring reps and more study.”
