A player’s “sophomore season” can say a lot about how the future looks.
Pro Football Focus has made their comparisons for the NFL’s 2nd-year wide receivers, and topping the list is a familiar face to B1G football.
Washington Football Team’s Terry McLaurin tops PFF’s list. The former Ohio State standout is having a breakout year for the Washington Football team and received a 84.3 rating from PFF.
