A wide-receiver showdown
Question: Johnny Johnson, Mycah Pittman, Jaylon Redd, Troy Franklin. Who has the biggest day out of those four WRs?
Neel: The most fun answer to this question is true freshman Troy Franklin, for sure, but I think that in the end, it will be Johnny Johnson who steals the show. He may only get a couple of quarters to show his stuff, but I expect there to be a strong connection between No. 3 and No. 13 this season.
Smalley: I have to go with the super-senior Johnny Johnson. He returned to Oregon in order to have a monster season and increase his draft stock. It begins with Fresno State. But Pittman needs to have a good start to the season. With his injury history, a lot of up-and-coming receivers, like Franklin, are in the program and they could surpass Pittman for playing time if he gets off to a slow start.
Patton: Pittman is my choice. This is such a make-or-break year for him that I think he comes out crisp and really turns some heads in Week 1. Johnson is a good bet as well, thanks to his experience.
