Mayden is really the only guy who is a tall, fast "field-stretcher." Trevor Long is long, but not that fast.
Hence why I said Cephus not Myers.
Here is a thought, who is replacing Bob (Luke Turner)?
Someone who can run, pass, catch, and return kicks?
Austin Walter? Astin Walter?
Yes, I agree about Aston.
I would say that these three are the most likely candidates:
Aston Walter
Nate German
Jordan Myers
We know that Aston can run the wild owl. By default, the fact that Nate is still listed as a WR/RB seems to be a give away as to his role. But Jordan Myers might be someone to think about. He played more RB than WR his senior year at Dickinson. I just don't know if I have seen footage of him throwing the ball. Nate and Aston are a departure in that they are not physical bruisers along the lines of Bob, Turner Petersen, or Jeremy Eddington. Jordan Myers definitely fits that mold. But can he throw well enough to present a passing threat?

One of the ones foremost in my mind when I made the Neely era comment.
