Great blocker that didn't get enough targets.

I wonder if this suggests their is no real news on a possible new OC to share with the players.

Manning had too many drops, but he was a good blocker and you would like to think he would keep developing his receiving game to have a shot at the pros.

With this offense's limitations brought on by the incompetence at QB and OC, there were too few targets for all the WRs. Would have been too few targets for 2-3 WRs, forget about a whole room.

He probably figured out Pribula will start again next year.

He did have a few drops and struggled to separate on deeper routes in conference play. He caught one ball in 4 of 8 SEC games. Some of that is definitely QB play but his lack of suddenness plays a factor as well.

Overall I liked his game. His blocking helped create the long rushing plays this year. He was pretty physical after the catch too.

It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

It's a testament to Drink's salesmanship that he has kept our WR room together with the inept ...

- Passing offense/playcalling
- QB play

He may have got the old "you can stay, but we are expecting more out of the position and will be looking to make the team better" talk.

I like seeing the instate kids flourish so it still sucks.

I hate to see him and Johnson leave. Passing game has been pretty lackluster last few years so can’t blame him. I’m still not sure if it’s OC, Drink, WR coach or QB. Hate losing instate kids, they are so easy to root for. Found myself rooting more for Robert’s than hardy for that reason.

Is it a sure thing he is leaving?

I’ve heard several rumors but who knows. Nothing is definite until portal closes. They definitely used him differently this year so couldn’t blame him.

He posted a Pic of him with the fans with a song playing about "moving on."

Interesting choice of song if it was “Movin On” by the band Missouri.
