Does anyone else find it odd that we have literally the most explosive player in the entire country and he gets 1 offensive touch per game?

Locksley used this guy a lot more last year as a freshman.

I know we’ve got talent, but getting the ball in his hands should be a PRIORITY. I dont get it

Did you happen to notice how good our starting 3 receivers are?

He needs more touches. The others are excellent, but Waddle is a threat to score from anywhere on the field

I'd say getting enough talent on the field at WR is the absolute least of our worries. He's not better than the other 3 right now. He'll get his chance to shine next year. My suspicion is that he drops more balls than the other guys, and maybe doesn't block as well.

What part of “most explosive player in the country” do you not understand? There’s not a single player on our team as dangerous as Waddle, but sure let’s bench him, because why not? It’s not like it’s that important to play our best players

He made some pretty spectacular catches last year. One was a sideline catch vs LSU.
I have a suspicion you don’t know wtf you’re talking about.

Waddle is better than Ruggs all day everyday, and is essentially just as fast but with more wiggle.

I love seeing our explosive players do there thing on special things. It reminded me of Javier Arenas. When he caught a punt, he was GONE!!

Smith was hurt a big chunk of last year allowing Waddle to step in and make more plays. All the juniors have pretty much stayed healthy this year so there hasn’t been the same opportunity.

Never go full retard. He’s a better PR but he’s not the receiver that Ruggs is. He’s not nearly as natural of a pass catcher and he doesn’t go up in traffic like Ruggs.

When Devante is healthy Waddle as good as he is should be his backup.

I'm just amazed some of y'all grace us with your football knowledge instead of exploiting it for millions being a coach

Only one football my dude. They use him on special teams and he gives Jeudy a breather here and there plus he plays in all four wide sets. I agree that we should probably throw a couple more balls his way but the other three guys bring just as much to the table. I actually think I like Smitty the most out of the four guys.

Smitty time and again has given us chances to win.

Remember against Miss St with Jalen?

Natty?

LSU the other night?

IMO the guy is clutch and should be a 1st rounder.

Everyone always talks about his punt returns, but my favorite thing about Javy was his ability to tackle in the open field. Pound for Pound the best open field tackler I have ever seen.

Waddle needs to be used like Kenyan Drake.

Put the guy in the backfield
