    Obviously Benton just became a tad bit more important.

    He will get his shot. It's up to him.

    Toliver, Tolliver, Peterson, Bell, Benton, Randle would be quite a group. Maybe Calhoun too, I think he may end up in the slot.

    Thanks for mentioning Chris Tolliver. A lot of people are forgetting him but I think he's going to be a very good player.

    Peterson, Benton, and Randle are all the same types of receivers.. right?

    I know Benton is/was(?) the largest out of highschool.

    Big and physical receivers.. able to take hits over the middle and outjump most DBs. Fast enough to beat DBs one on one (demanding safety help).

    Chris Tolliver will be amazing. He reminds me of a Marvin Harrison type of receiver.....Not that big in stature, but has crazy quickness and catches everything that touches his hands....

    Im still waiting for Benton to show up as well.:thumb:

    Yeah that's why it would have been great to get a guy like Debose.

    It will be interesting to see if Shepard plays some slot. He will see the field in every way he possibly can.

    Still no word on Benton.

    We'll see if we hear anything about him showing up on campus tomorrow.

    This is why I bought into the whole Debose thing. He goes to florida and he's behind harvin as well as demps and the other guy, I believe rainey. They can play that position too and are not true running backs where they played this year. As far as we go, we really don't have anyone for that slot receiver or scat back role for which Debose is ideal.
