While I agree we need to get better there, Ridder was a redshirt freshman and showed a ton of promise. He struggled at times against above average defenses, but was mostly good with the football and put up good numbers against lower defenses. I'm really interested to see what kind of leap he can make this year. If he can make quicker decisions, his accuracy was pretty good and his mobility/running ability give us a nice dynamic.

I think scientifically our wide receivers last year could best be described as "dog doo doo". Outside of Lewis, they never got open and when they were couldn't catch. It's weird that for a position that was such a strength of ours for so many years, they have definitely been a subpar group for the past few years.
