Yeah. As improbable as it seems, Faison seems to be our
best playmaking WR. It might be wishful thinking, but I don't think there's any doubt that the kid is an elite athlete. I think he has an elite athlete's mentality -- whether it was football last fall or lacrosse in the spring, the moment never seems too big for him, even as a relatively small 18 year old. I love that he plays lacrosse too, but I also wish he were spending more time refining his football skills -- because at his size, he needs to have some craft to his game.
That said, Faison should never, ever, ever be a top ten team's number one receiver. We are never going to have OSU or Bama style receiver groups. But we seem to be well south of, say, Michigan last year. And that level should be attainable for us.
