He looked a million times better at practice the first day than he did last year - more confident throwing the ball, and a whole lot bigger and stronger, and now he's moving to receiver? Maybe it's viewed as a straight-up trade for Tate Wallis. I can't help but think the receivers will be better, because there are so many of them, they have to be pushing each other.

Off the top of my head, I come up with Comet, Cardwell, Ford, Freeman, Taylor, Griffin, Vinson, Nixon, Joeckyl, and I'm sure I'm missing one or two. That's nine wideouts, and only Taylor, I think, could be redshirted (but won't). Even the older guys are going to have to work hard to fight off the young guys. When we go to a 4-WR set, this group looks like it's got a lot of talent.

Story I heard was that Ashton asked to be moved to WR....said he felt more comfortable there.

Look at the size we have at WR.

Jay Taylor is closer to 6-5 than 6-4.
Billy Ford is somewhere between 6-3 and 6-4.
Cedric Vinson is 6-1 or so.
Ashton Nixon is 6-2.

How would you like to be an opposing secondary coach and see that group of big guys line up across from your small DBs?

I never thought we would be able to say we had size at receiver. I know Comet and Cody will do great as well.
