With so many experienced players returning, I'm curious about some of the lesser-known Blazers you are excited to see take on bigger roles in 2021. Who do you see who is either a newcomer or a returning player who has played only spot duty having an impact this fall?
Here are some of mine I am watching:
-- Tyler Taylor started slowly but was playing very well at the end of last season. He's not getting much attention in the previews but I think he could be one of the better linebackers in the conference.
-- RaJae Johnson-Sanders looks like he's in great shape and ready to look like that highly rated WR prospect we were all excited about signing. He had a couple of great catches in the spring. It would be huge if he could be a 20+ catch, 5-TD guy this fall.
-- Lee Witherspoon's stats from high school are eye-popping. He's going to give the offense a dash of speed at RB that we haven't seen in a long time. I don't know how many touches he'll get but I could see him providing a lot of highlights.
--TJ Jones and Tejuan Palmer. Two new transfer WRs with Jones is coming over for Penn State, Palmer led juco in receiving. UAB has had a lot of recent success with transfer WRs (Ubosi, Watkins, Mitchell and I hope Shropeshire). Are these two next?
Who are some others?
