We really have some nice talent at the WR position. I am getting excited already for next year.

love me some pig..can see him as a Wes welker type for us. Without hunter, Patterson, zro, he should see plenty of targets next year.

Pig really reminds me of Gerald Jones, albeit a bit smaller. Jones was criticized for his height, although he too was a 4*, from Oklahoma. Jones went under center in the "G-Gun" because of his speed and also served as an increasingly valuable slot receiver as his career progressed.
I think Howard's career will look very similar to Jones' once it's all said and done.

The spread is good for athletes like Howard. Smaller, yes, but very quick and elusive in space. The new system will show what he can do more. Vols!!
