Dead on. And now we are going to use Mixon more in the receiving game. And we have a healthy Uzo and Moss, who was looking very good thus far in one-on-one matchups against LBs.
It isn't just the big three of Chase, Higgins, and Boyd, but the Fab Five that includes Mixon and Uzo.
Everyone is in awe of what Justin Jefferson did at Minnesota, and it was damn impressive, averaging almost 100 yards per game in his rookie season. However, it was Chase that was the straw that stirred the drink at LSU. He wouldn't get as many targets, but he would open up things underneath, and his big plays were so effective that DBs played off of him allowing the occasional slant or screen.
I expect Boyd and Higgins to likely have more receptions, but Chase will probably have the most yardage from big plays.
Damn, I can't wait to see them week 1.
