RW lacks the physical development to take vicious hits. He had made a decent return on the play he fumbled, and should have just gotten down prior to contact. He's not going to run through tackles, that's not his skill set.

Brooks will probably be our best receiver next year though if Horton returns he may make a year 1 to 2 jump.

I think in retrospect, he made a mistake by reclassifying and coming out of HS a year early. He's in his second year and still not physically ready to go through a full college season.

Yeah, I think his decision to reclassify has made him a 4 year college player. Granted, I think that benefitted Devonta Smith greatly and it may do the same for RW. He still hasn't really learned how to catch a football like a professional. He also clearly has some growing to do that he's essentially a year behind on relative to his college classification.

With that said, if he puts together one complete year as a junior he'll probably bounce.
