Curious what the future holds for him. Came in highly recruited and showed some signs last year. Was looking forward to seeing a lot from him this year, but his productivity has really fallen off. From 30 receptions last year to 8 this year, and I can't say I even really recall hearing his name called this year. No idea how many snaps he's been out there for this year as opposed to last year.

Just makes me wonder in the portal era. He seems to fit the profile of a player who could hit the portal. In no way suggesting I think he will be. But the profile fits...highly recruited player, struggling with production after a couple seasons.

I mean he’s still a very capable receiver. None of the receivers put up decent numbers and Harbor got most of the targets. Bennett would probably be the leader of the receiver room next year which seems like an attractive option.

There is definitely the opportunity for someone to emerge as the number one guy in our wide receiver room. Players usually transfer either because they can get more money somewhere else or because of frustration due to lack of production and/or playing time. No idea if either of those situations applied to him.

Wait, is Harbor leaving? I thought he had another year?

There’s so much talent in the WR room right now. Brian Rowe is another one who could emerge as a leader if we get him the ball. I wouldn’t be shocked to see him look around in the offseason.

Mazeo…he’s blown most every chance he’s had this season; drops on key downs and not much use in blocking.
