Jonathan Mingo - 418 yards
Jalin Hyatt - 373 yards
Cedric Tillman - 224 yards
Wan'Dale Robinson - 227 yards
John Metchie III - 0 yards
George Pickens - 801 yards
Velus Jones Jr - 103 yards
Elijah Moore - 538 yards
Terrace Marshall Jr - 138 yards
Josh Palmer - 353 yards
Anthony Schwartz - 135 yards

That's 1 out of 11 SEC WRs that we could argue would have be an improvement over Boyd. The worst NFL team would destroy the best SEC team in an absolute route.

None of them had Burrow throwing them the ball and Byron has a lot of big play ability.

A thing that I could see hurting him is Gesicki playing in the slot, but I think Burton will still get plenty of opportunities.

Burrow finally having protection means I think we have a lot of possessions, throw the ball a lot, and put up lots of points and yards.

I think Burton destroys all those receivers' numbers simply because of his big play ability and teams focused on stopping Chase and Higgins.
