Looks like they young Wideouts will have to wait.

Fewer snaps his sophomore year. You guys can keep saying the young wideouts have to prove they can produce like Lafell. Boyd did and it got him nowhere. So you have to come better than that line keep being repeated in this thread to sell me. Facts matter.

Fact is Boyd showed he could produce on LaFell's level and he got rewarded by sitting the bench most of his sophomore year.

Core showed in his limited time his rookie year he could get close to Lafell's 548 yards (200).

Lafell got 548 yards in 860 snaps. Only 348 more yards then Core. And it only took Core only 1/6th of the snaps.

I'm just not in the camp LaFell's 548 yards can't be matched by any other wideout on our roster not named AJ.

Point-blank, I think Malone out-performed Core to take his snaps. They are similar players. Core's rookie year didn't have a deep threat on the roster, so he was slotted right into that role.
Boyd is not the same style player as either of them, and Boyd has not outproduced LaFell either year.
So it makes sense (to me anyway) that Boyd is LaFell's backup and Core is Malone's backup as a deep threat.
