Jurrion Dickey hits offseason milestones, sets sights on breakout Sophomore year

Oregon Ducks wide receiver Jurrion Dickey has been checking off goals left and right, and now he eyes a breakout sophomore season.

Coming into college, the spotlight was already on Oregon Ducks wide receiver Jurrion Dickey.

He was a 5-star prospect, and one of the highest-rated recruits to sign with the Ducks in school history. As the No. 2-ranked WR in his recruiting class, his talents were unquestioned, and his ceiling was sky-high.

To say that eyeballs were on him is an understatement. Then he announced his jersey number.

[lawrence-related id=63726]

No. 99 was an unconventional choice for a wide receiver, but Dickey seems to be an unconventional type of person. Rather than fitting into the mold of a braggadocious playmaker who enjoyed playfully trash-talking his teammates during practice, Dickey more resembled a loquacious State Senator at Oregon’s Media Day on Monday, giving buttoned-up answers when provided the platform to boast.

Who is the best EA Sports College Football 25 player on the team?

“My opinion is I feel like we’re all great.”

Which defensive back on the roster gives you the biggest challenge?

“I’ll say they all challenge me in different ways. We’ve got a really good DB group.”

Does Oregon have the best WR group in the nation?

“I believe that we have a great group, and I believe that other colleges in the world have a good receiver group as well.”

Getting a passionate quote out of Dickey at media day didn’t come easy, but when asked to talk about his most recent change — switching from No. 99 to No. 13 going into 2024 — the former Bay Area-baller opened up a bit.

[lawrence-related id=63705]

“I set a standard to wear No. 13. I set a goal for myself,” Dickey said. “I had to lose weight to a certain weight.  I had to push weight to a certain weight. I had to get my grades up to a certain GPA for me to obtain No. 13.”

Dickey came to Oregon weighing 225 pounds. Oregon’s offensive coordinator Will Stein challenged him to get down to 205 to be more agile and get to jump-balls easier.

Dickey is now down to the 200-205 range. He also says that he nearly doubled his bench-press numbers since coming to Eugene, and is much stronger and leaner going into his sophomore campaign.

“To me No. 13 was a challenge, and only for me to get it if I beat my challenge.”

The next challenge? Carving out a role in this offense that is loaded with what he says is among the best group of wide receivers in the nation. Guys like Tez Johnson, Evan Stewart, Traeshon Holden, and Gary Bryant are all ahead of Dickey on the depth chart, while others like Kyler Kasper and Justius Lowe are in the mix to grab a share of the targets as well.

It’s not going to be an easy task, but becoming a major piece of this offense is a goal that Dickey has set out for himself, and something that he will be striving for over the next several weeks and months.

So far he’s been checking off goals left and right. Just add this one to the list.

Jurrion Dickey is healthy, and feeling more confident than ever going into 2024

“I feel better with myself, I feel more confident, I feel like I can go out there and shake and be more physical and fast.”

When 5-star wide receiver Jurrion Dickey announced his commitment to the Oregon Ducks as the headlining member of the 2023 signing class, the hype train started to build rather quickly. He was the second-highest-rated wide receiver to ever sign with the Ducks, standing behind only Cameron Colvin, and there was a hope from fans that he could come in right away and contribute as a freshman.

Unfortunately, a knee injury during his senior season derailed that, but the months of rehab and a forced perspective from the sideline had a major role to play in both the player and person that Dickey sees himself as today.

[lawrence-related id=60388]

“It opened my eyes up to football, just in general,” Dickey said on Thursday after practice. “It helped me out in understanding all of the basics that’s not just as a receiver, but as a football player, and as a student-athlete.”

And now, more than a year removed from the injury, Dickey is ready to get back on the field and show Oregon fans what they’ve been missing. The reviews from spring practice have been glowing, if you ask players and coaches about what No. 99 can do with the ball in his hands, but that final product we see on Saturday is nothing without the hard work put in behind the scenes, and the confidence it’s helped Dickey build.

“I feel like my journey from where I was at the Fiesta Bowl at the end of the year, like I’ve come a long way,” Dickey said. “I’m going to come here and ball. I feel better with myself, I feel more confident, I feel like I can go out there and shake and be more physical and fast.”

Carving out a role in Oregon’s offense is not going to be an easy task, as Dickey has to compete with the likes of Tez Johnson, Traeshon Holden, Evan Stewart, Kyler Kasper, Gary Bryant, Terrance Ferguson, and several others for targets. However, that’s a challenge that the redshirt freshman is up for.

We’ve see what he can do on the field at the high school level, and we’ve heard tell of what he’s been doing in spring practices so far this year.

Now it’s time that we all see it with our own eyes, and Saturday’s spring game will present the perfect opportunity.

Just a year into his college career, Oregon teammates say WR Jurrion Dickey’s ‘got it’

“He’s got it, for sure,” Holden said. “Jurrion’s gonna keep getting better.”

If we’re going to look at things from an objective standpoint, it’s fair to say that fans of the Oregon Ducks have been a bit impatient.

When former 5-star receiver Jurrion Dickey landed in Eugene ahead of the 2023 season, fans expected him to have an instant impact, and find a role in the offense right away. Dickey was the highest-rated WR to sign with the Ducks since Cameron Colvin and was rated as the 18th-best player in his recruiting class. It’s understandable why crazed Oregon fanatics were hoping to see him pop.

On Saturday, though, wide receiver coach Junior Adams provided some much-needed realism.

“He still hasn’t been here a year yet. Sometimes we forget about that.”

[lawrence-related id=59733]

It’s often easy to look past the fact that Dickey has been on campus and with the Ducks for a matter of eight months. It’s easier to ignore that fact when you talk to some of Jurrion’s teammates who are able to watch what he does each and every day at practice.

More than the physical growth and his production on the field, what has allowed the redshirt freshman to take a leap this offseason has been his mental growth. No longer is he focused solely on learning the ins and outs of the playbook, and taking an extra beat to get lined up. Now he’s in a position where he’s helping teach the young guys on the roster.

[lawrence-related id=59672]

“Even though he’s a young guy, he’s teaching the freshmen that just came in, which is really big on his part,” Tez Johnson said. “When we first got here, we tried to get Jurrion to know the playbook fast. We tried to force it on him. And it was kind of hectic for him at first, but he knew we was trying to help him. So now that he’s teaching the little guys, us older guys see that and really, really admire what he’s doing.”

Adams says that it’s his maturity that’s been the biggest factor in Dickey’s growth off of the field, and his commitment to his craft.

“He’s gotten this far because he’s putting in the work,” Adams said. “He’s understanding the day-to-day, what time he comes into the building every day. When practice is over he’s getting straight to the film. He’s taking good notes in meetings.”

All of that has resulted in a supremely talented player who is starting to come into his own. While a knee injury held him out for the majority of his freshman season, Dickey now enters his second year in Eugene with hopes of finding a role in what Traeshon Holden calls the best receiver room in the nation. It’s not hard to see a world where he’s eventually leading that room.

“He’s got it, for sure,” Holden said. “Jurrion’s gonna keep getting better.”

Jurrion Dickey is living up to expectations as Ducks’ spring practice begins

Oregon Ducks redshirt freshman WR Jurrion Dickey has started to turn heads and live up to expectations in Eugene.

The Oregon Ducks are in the tough position of having to replace one of the best players to ever come through Eugene this offseason. Troy Franklin, arguably the No. 1 wide receiver in program history, is heading to the NFL draft later this spring after putting up historic numbers in 2023.

Of course, the Ducks aren’t lacking for talent in the WR room, with guys like Tez Johnson, Traeshon Holden, Gary Bryant Jr., and Evan Stewart all looking to take over as the No. 1 option in 2024. However, it may be a player who is not currently a projected starter, and who only has one catch on his resume that could make the biggest impact going forward.

Redshirt freshman Jurrion Dickey is ready to become a household name.

[lawrence-related id=58712]

A year ago, he signed with the Ducks as a 5-star prospect, ranked as the second-best receiver in the nation, and the 18th-best player in the 2023 class. He stands behind only Cameron Colvin as the highest-rated receiver to ever sign with Oregon.

While an injury sidelined him for much of his freshman season, Dickey looks primed for a breakout in 2024.

“He looks like the player we all anticipated he would look like,” Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein said on Saturday after the Ducks’ second spring practice. “He’s in shape and healthy. I love that kid. He has worked his tail off to get in good shape to go out and produce for us. The sky is the limit for Jurrion, as we all know.”

Talent was never the problem for Dickey. While the knee injury was partly responsible for his limited action a year ago, the understanding of a complicated offensive system also played a part. Oftentimes, fans see a generational talent like Dickey and expect him to be able to contribute right away, but they overlook the necessary intake process for a young player trying to learn a new scheme.

[lawrence-related id=54897]

From Year 1 to Year 2, that’s one of the things that has changed the most for Dickey.

“He knows what to do and where to line up,” Dickey said. “When you know what to do and where to line up, you can play fast and play to your ability. When you don’t know where to line up and are looking for help, you can’t play at full speed because you don’t know what route to run. That has nothing to do with his intelligence. Jurrion is an extremely intelligent guy. It’s just new. Now he’s at a point where he gets lined up like that. He knows his routes.”

Of course, knowing what to do and having the ability to do it won’t always be enough. In order for Dickey to see the field and actually have an outsized impact in his redshirt freshman season, he’s going to have to compete at a high level. The Ducks have one of the most talented receiver rooms in the nation, with high-level returners and an elite prospect coming over from Texas A&M in Stewart — the No. 1 WR and No. 6 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class.

Stein sees a path forward for Dickey, though, and a world where he can crack that rotation.

“Just keep competing. When the ball is up in the air, go make the play,” Stein said. “He’s a big-bodied receiver. On 1-on-1 contested catches, we expect him to go catch the ball. It shouldn’t be a 50-50 with him, he should go make the play. That’s what he’s shown. He really took a big step in bowl prep. It was like another 13 practices of spring football going over the base install again. You saw those down-the-field routes develop with him, and with like Troy or Ferg, he’s taking the ball off of defenders’ heads.”

Over the next 13 spring practices, we will get to see and hear how Dickey continues to grow and find a place in the offense. It will all culminate in the annual spring game on April 27th, where fans could be in store for a breakout from one of the most talented WRs that the Ducks have seen in quite some time.

Oregon’s former 5-star WR Jurrion Dickey is 100% healthy and ready for his breakout

Oregon Ducks’ former 5-star WR Jurrion Dickey has been getting back to full health all year, and he’s ready for his breakout opportunity.

A few years ago, Oregon was in a similar position to right now. The team was preparing for a low-stakes bowl game with a roster significantly weakened by several starters opting out to head to the NFL.

We always talk about this sort of scenario acting as a perfect breeding ground for breakout performances as young players get an opportunity to show what they can do on a big stage. In that 2021 Alamo Bowl game against Oklahoma, true freshman wide receiver Troy Franklin seized the opportunity, bursting onto the scene with 4 catches for 65 yards and a touchdown, all career highs at that time.

[lawrence-related id=54887]

Franklin went on to become arguably the greatest wide receiver in Oregon school history over the next couple of years. Duck fans are probably hoping true freshman WR Jurrion Dickey can follow a similar trajectory.

It has been a tough road so far for the five-star prospect from Northern California, the same neck of the woods as Franklin. He signed with Oregon as the second-highest-rated receiver in program history — the No. 2 WR in the 2023 class — but did not have the instant impact many expected. Much of that had to do with a knee injury (torn meniscus) he suffered in the first game of his senior season at Menlo-Atherton High School. Much of his freshman season in Oregon was spent rehabilitating and getting up to speed physically instead of getting on the field.

“I feel like I’m 100% right now,” Dickey said on Thursday.

Dickey said it wasn’t until about a month ago that he felt as though he returned to his pre-injury level of health. But he believes the process of growing was important for him, not only by becoming a stronger player, but a stronger person off the field.

[lawrence-related id=54859]

“It was frustrating but you’ve just gotta go through it,” Dickey said. “Sometimes things hit you and you’ve just gotta bounce back from it. I learned a lot of things that I wouldn’t actually pay attention to if I wasn’t injured.”

It wasn’t just things about the game Dickey focused on during his time off the field. He said he learned more about himself as a person.

“It just allowed me to develop outside of football.”

Now, Dickey is healthy and ready to go. He’s also ready for a bigger stage and the opportunity to display what made him such a highly rated player coming into college. On Jan. 1, the Oregon Ducks will take on the Liberty Flames in the Fiesta Bowl, and many eyes will tune in to see what the next potential Oregon WR great has in store.

[lawrence-related id=54852]

“It gives me an opportunity to actually grow, and see how I am on the college level on the football field and in the game situation,” Dickey said.

That’s something that Duck fans have been anxious to see for about a year, ever since Dickey signed on Dec. 21, 2022. In just 10 days, they will finally get the opportunity.

2024 Wide Receiver Outlook: Promising young talent set to take over for Ducks next season

The Oregon Ducks are expecting a lot of promising young wide receivers to take over in 2024 as the team heads to the Big Ten.

The 2023 season is now behind us, and while there is still a bowl game to be played — The Fiesta Bowl vs. The Liberty Flames — Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are working hard on the construction of their roster and hitting the transfer portal in attempts to formulate what this team will look like going into the 2024 season, the team’s first year in the Big Ten Conference. While they work on bringing new players in via the transfer portal, we want to look at the future breakdown of each position, detailing current players on the roster, incoming recruits, and potential targets on the market right now. On Wednesday, we broke down the future of the quarterback position. Today, let’s turn to wide receivers. 


Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen the wide receiver position take off in Eugene in ways that Oregon Duck fans haven’t seen for a long time. A lot of that is thanks to the style of offense that Dan Lanning and his offensive coordinators — Kenny Dillingham in 2022, Will Stein in 2023 — have chosen to deploy, and part of that is due to the wide receiver talent that is currently residing in Eugene.

There’s no reason to believe that anything should change going forward.

While the Ducks are likely to be without Troy Franklin next year — the arguable best WR in school history is expected to enter the 2024 NFL Draft — there’s a long list of players on the roster and in the 2024 recruiting class who could step up and make a huge difference going forward.

On top of that, there is a high likelihood that Lanning and Co. bring in at least one, and potentially two pass-catchers via the transfer portal this offseason to further bolster the roster.

Let’s look at the various players on the roster, and provide an overview of the projected WR room in 2024 for the Oregon Ducks.

Dan Lanning gives status report on WR Jurrion Dickey and continued development with Ducks

Dan Lanning gives status report on WR Jurrion Dickey and continued development with Ducks

During the NCAA’s early signing period in December, the Oregon Ducks accomplished a great deal. They received many letters of intent from recruits and transfers across the country, including right tackle Ajani Cornelius and edge Matayo Uigalelei. Both have become integral components of this season’s Ducks.

While those players’ commitments were massive victories for the Ducks, the highest-profile signing of the day was five-star wide receiver Jurrion Dickey. He was the No. 2 WR in his class behind only Zachariah Branch. Dickey attended Menlo-Atherton High School in Palo Alto, California, the hometown of Ducks’ WR Troy Franklin. Dickey is the second-highest-rated WR behind only Cameron Colvin to ever sign with the Ducks,.

When Oregon’s jersey numbers were announced this past summer, there was speculation Dickey would redshirt after picking No. 99 — a number not traditionally worn by WRs. Oregon’s WR group is one of the deepest position groups on the team, so there didn’t seem to be much room for a true freshman, despite his immense talent.

Until now, that speculation seemed accurate. Dickey has not seen the field in 2023. On Thursday, however, Dan Lanning spoke to the media after practice and was asked about Dickey’s status. He had this to say:

“Yeah, he did a great job today, had a big catch on us today. You know what, I think he’ll continue to grow. He’s gotten better and better. He’s gotten himself in shape. You know, he was coming off a knee injury there at the end of high school. And I think that he’s really worked himself through that. So hoping that he can certainly help us down the stretch.”

Not only is the Ducks’ WR room one of the deepest parts of the roster, but it has also been one of the most productive. Franklin has, at the very least, put himself in the Biletnikoff conversation. Tez Johnson, Gary Bryant Jr. and Traeshon Holden have been valuable additions. But, as the season progresses, so does fatigue, which makes depth more and more valuable.

The prospect that Dickey may see the field in the coming weeks is an exciting one. His talent is immense. As Lanning mentioned, he has gotten better since coming to Eugene.

If the coaching staff deems he’s ready, there is a high likelihood that when he does see the field, he’ll put on a show. An appearance for the young WR would also provide him with valuable game experience for when he hopefully becomes a more integral member of the Oregon offense down the line.

‘He’s a raw talent’: Oregon players and coaches impressed, entertained by WR Jurrion Dickey

“The sky is the limit for him.” Jurrion Dickey is developing an early reputation in Eugene as an entertaining guy with an incredibly high ceiling.

If you were to take a random poll of 100 Oregon Duck fans going into the 2023 season, asking them which young player they are most excited to see in the upcoming months, I think the overwhelming answer would be wide receiver, Jurrion Dickey.

As a former 5-star recruit, and the second-highest-rated receiver to ever sign with the Ducks, expectations are high for Dickey. He was rated as the No. 2 WR in the 2023 class, and the No. 18 player in the nation. His reputation precedes him.

While Dickey was not in Eugene for the spring football season, he has been able to take flight with the Ducks over the past few weeks once fall camp started. In many ways, the true-freshman WR has made a strong first impression on players and coaches in Eugene.

[lawrence-related id=46392]

That’s easy to do when you walk onto the practice field sporting the No. 99 on your jersey. While most skill-position players have numbers in the single digit range, or from 10-20, and 80-90, Dickey is a bit different. He wanted that to be known from the jump.

“That’s the number he wanted. He wanted #99, so he got #99,” WR coach Junior Adams said. “If you know Jurrion, that’s Jurrion.”

Some may think that an obscure number for a true freshman might be the result of other numbers already being reserved for established veterans. For Dickey, though, it’s just part of the package.

[lawrence-related id=46374]

“He’s the first guy I’ve ever seen that came out there with #99, but that’s kind of his swag, and I think it’s cool that everybody just lets him be him,” said transfer WR Gary Bryant Jr., who came to Eugene via USC. “You’ve got to know your players and understand when to let him be him. Whatever he can do to go out there and play well on Saturdays and practice well, we will be all for it.”

From the sound of it, Dickey appears to be holding up that end of the bargain. While coaches have said that he is doing a good job of picking up the playbook and studying hard to grasp the schematics of Oregon’s offense, players say that what he’s done on the field thus far is what really stands out.

“When we first got here in fall workouts, we got some player-run practices with no coaches out here,” Bryant said. “He was out there making one-handed catches, making plays. I was like ‘Oh okay, this kid can play.’ He’s a raw talent, he already has it. All he’s got to do is polish it up, learn the playbook, and be detailed, and the sky is the limit for him.”

[lawrence-related id=46358]

With the extensive depth of Oregon’s WR room, there’s no guarantee that Dickey will see the field as a true freshman. In order for him to get an extended run, he has to compete with the likes of Troy Franklin, Traeshon Holden, Tez Johnson, Gary Bryant, Kris Hutson, Kyler Kasper, Ashton Cozart, and Justius Lowe.

The talent may be there to hold his own in that competition, but talent only gets you so far at the college level. In order to have an impact, Dickey needs to know the offense inside and out.

“I think he’s doing a good job in meetings; he’s asking good questions, he’s taking good notes,” Adams said. “Obviously making the transition from high school to college, he’s just learning how to practice. But he’s doing good, he’s made plays and he’s running around, playing fast.”

After missing spring ball, Dickey was thrown into the deep end in the fall, where he now has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to install and comprehension. If he keeps making strides of improvement, though, there’s a good chance we see him get some time at points this fall.

From there, as Bryant said, the sky is the limit.

‘He’s an exciting player;’ Oregon OC Will Stein impressed by 5-star WR Jurrion Dickey

“He shows up early, he takes notes. He’s doing his best to be a pro,” Will Stein said. “I’m excited about him.”

The last time the Oregon Ducks had a 5-star wide receiver come into the program was back in 2004. The last time that they had a WR drafted in the first or second round was 25 years ago. In the past eight years, there has been only one 1,000-yard WR on the team.

Give Oregon fans a bit of a break if they may be overly excited about the prospect of watching Jurrion Dickey in the coming months and years.

[lawrence-related id=45770]

Dickey, a 6-foot-3, 210-pound beast out in space, comes to the Ducks as the highest-rated WR since Cameron Colvin. He was rated by 247Sports as the No. 18 overall player in the 2023 class, and the No. 2 WR in the nation. The months leading up to his eventual arrival in Eugene have been anticipated, to say the least, and now that he’s got his webbed feet on the ground, the excitement is starting to bubble to the surface.

After practice on Thursday, I asked offensive coordinator Will Stein about his instant impressions of Dickey through two days of fall camp. He’d seen the film, and heard all of the buzz, but what was it like actually watching the 5-star at work?

“He’s a football player, you know? He’s got really, really good ball skills. He wants to be really good,” Stein said. “And he shows up early, he takes notes. He’s doing his best to be a pro. There’s still a lot of growth for him. He’s nowhere near ready to go out and produce at the level that he wants to, but day by day, he’s getting better.”

[lawrence-related id=45737]

Whether fans get a chance to see Dickey this fall is yet to be seen. At the moment, the Ducks have an incredibly stacked WR room, with the likes of Troy Franklin, Kris Hutson, Tez Johnson, Traeshon Holden, and Gary Bryant at the top. Below that group, you also have Kyler Kasper and Justius Lowe looking to make the jump as second-year players.

There is a lot of competition ahead of him, but early on Dickey has shown the desire to be great, and will work towards the future that he wants.

“I see a kid that wants it,” Stein said. “And you know, he’s a football player. He’s gonna block, he’s gonna catch the ball in traffic. He’s an exciting player. I’m excited about him.”

Join the group, Coach Stein.

3 Ducks freshman named as highly skilled players by ESPN

Jurrion Dickey, Ashton Cozart, and Blake Purchase have all been highlighted by ESPN going into the 2023 season.

ESPN writers Craig Haubert and Billy Tucker released a list of the best incoming freshman with 39 individual skills they selected. Three Oregon Ducks were selected for the list: wide receivers Ashton Cozart and Jurrion Dickey and linebacker Blake Purchase. Below are the ESPN article’s quotes about each player.

Jurrion Dickey – Skill: Best Contested Catch Ability

Dickey, 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds, looks like a TE or H-back and has a similar skill set when boxing out smaller DBs on a jump ball and high pointing. Not surprisingly, he’s a basketball player with a near 40-inch vertical and polished ball skills. With his size and potential red zone value, Dickey may have a better shot at carving out a role than Cozart.

As Dickey has climbed the WR rankings in his class, he has really showcased his contested catch ability, especially on back-shoulder throws and high passes. As the ESPN article mentions, his large frame is one of the reasons he is able to compete for nearly every pass, able to both extend for each catch and muscle his defender off the ball. One thing to note about Dickey is in 2023, he will be wearing No. 99 for the Ducks, which has caused some to speculate he will redshirt this season.

Blake Purchase – Best Second-Level Blitzer

You’re not seeing Russaw here as we’re not going to repeat names. While this selection might be a bit of a surprise, it’s hard to argue with the production. Having recorded 30 sacks over his final two high school seasons, Purchase has shown excellent ability to get after the QB. Not a pure speed rusher, he’s a big body with good initial burst but also impressive power, balance and agility. At nearly 6-foot-3 and 240 pounds, he may end up putting his hand down, but regardless of utilization, he can generate pressure and fill a need for the Ducks.

On the best high school team in Colorado in 2022, Blake Purchase was far and away the best player. He has the textbook frame of a hard-hitting outside linebacker but still has the speed necessary to be an elite rusher, perhaps more speed than Haubert and Tucker give him credit for. What this means is Purchase has all the skills to be an elite blitzer for Oregon, and hopefully he can turn his raw talent into results early and often for the Ducks’ defense.

Ashton Cozart – Best Deep Threat

At 6-foot-3 with a laser verified 4.45-second 40-yard dash and 10.7 in the 100 meters, Cozart has the size and speed combination to take the top off a defense. He doesn’t always look ultra-fast given his stride, but he will quickly get behind coverage, and his wide catch radius adds to his range as a pass-catcher. Oregon has a strong receiving room, and his impact may be limited this fall despite the rare size and speed combo.

Tez Johnson wasn’t the only speedy WR that the Ducks picked up this offseason, as freshman Cozart might even be faster. While Johnson’s abilities were on display in Oregon’s spring game, Cozart’s speed is no-joke (see the 40-yard dash time Haubert and Tucker highlighted above). Hopefully, he and Dickey will be able to crack into the lineup —perhaps in sets with an empty backfield and an extra WR —and make an impact this season. If Cozart is able to, Haubert and Tucker are likely correct in their assumption that it will come from the long ball, catching Bo Nix’s touchdowns.
