I wish we'd stop redshirting so many freshmen. It hurts our depth and limits the size of our recruiting classes.

Even if freshmen aren't ready to play in the first few games, they would add depth later in the season when the starters are worn down. Also, they'd have more experience their second year.

(A red shirt will still be necessary for most OL and maybe DTs.)

OT is pretty much the only position we haven't been able to redshirt as much because we have good depth at every other position.

I wish we'd keep redshirting freshman, especially on the offensive and defensive lines and in the secondary.

Let the special ones play, of course.

It seems as if the majority of defensive players and offensive lineman need a year to adjust to the complexity and speed of the college game.

The elite RBs and WRs will see the field no matter what.

Actually, the SEC is a bit famous for our productive true freshman WRs of late:
2014: Speedy Noil
2013: Successfulquon, Marquez North
2012: Amari Cooper
2011: Malcolm Mitchell, Odell Beckham, Jr.
2010: Justin Hunter
2009: Alshon Jeffrey
2008: Julio Jones, AJ Green
