Analysis

Receiver is one of the toughest to project, because it could go one wide up to four wide. Players who normally play outside could play inside and vice versa. And, honestly, pretty much any of the above could be included on the first play of the game, because they have such varied skill sets.

As far as power rankings are concerned, this could look a lot different. Ronnie Bell should be considered the clear-cut No. 1, but beyond him, a player like Mike Sainristil (who’s moonlighting at cornerback) could be the No. 2 player behind him, depending on in-game deployment. Cornelius Johnson is probably the No. 1 possession receiver, while Anthony is likely the biggest deep-threat. Roman Wilson and Cristian Dixon are the more speedy options, and Darrius Clemons is likely the top freshman entering fall camp, given what we saw in the spring, and he’s likely the top breakout candidate.

That is besides A.J. Henning, who is expected to take on more of a Deebo Samuel-type role in the offense, utilized heavily both laterally and in the run game, as we saw late in 2021. Ultimately, he could be the biggest breakout in 2022 as he offers a different type of electricity as an athlete and offensive weapon in this offense.

Amorion Walker is a taller option that needs to fill out a bit more, while we know little about Tyler Morris, as he was still rehabbing his own ACL injury from high school. Dixon is still something of an unknown commodity entering his second year.

Next, the offensive line.
