Georgia Tech Still Needs a Top Guy to Emerge in the Wide Receiver Room

Georgia Tech is hoping to have a revamped passing attack in 2022, but for that to happen, they are going to need a top target to emerge at the wide receiver position.

There has been consistent praise from the coaching staff about how much better Jeff Sims has gotten this offseason, but there have been questions about the wide receivers. When speaking with the media on Wednesday, offensive coordinator Chip Long said they will just have to ride with the hot hand for now at the position.

“It is kind of like the offensive line, we are going to go with the hot hand. You know, if I can get three guys at our boundary that can give me 15 snaps and that is as far as they can go, then that is what they will do. I need an alpha to emerge in that group. Nate McCollum has probably been the most consistent of all of them. It is going to be play by committee there. Just figure out as the game goes on, who has the hot hand. A lot of guys are going to play and the ones that play the most are the ones making plays and not being disruptive out there. There is a lot of work to do there, Coach (Del) Alexander is doing a great job with what he has, but we need some guys to step up and be more consistent at that position, there is no doubt about it.”
