With only seven practices to go until kick off, the wide receiver room is starting to take shape.
wrapped up its 18th practice on Thursday, marking the last open-media practice of fall camp before heading into game week. Early in camp, there were some concerns about the wide receiver room as a whole. However, as the team continues to gain its identity, the wideouts have strung together multiple successful practices and are starting to look like a Top-10 team.
"I just want to give them a shoutout. I thought they really raised the level of their game this week," Norvell said. "They had another good day, and the competitiveness with them and the defensive backs, how those guys are challenging and working with each other to get better, has been really good. I thought, all and all it, was a good day. I'm definitely proud of what I'm seeing from that group as we get closer to game day.
With the slump in receiver play at the start of fall camp, the need to see continued improvement in that room is critical for the team's success. Norvell said he challenged the group and they stepped up to the challenge and recognized the amount of work that the coaching staff places on such a crucial position.
Alongside Alabama transfer Malik Benson, a few other wide receivers have been stepping up to the challenge of going against such a tough secondary. Veterans like Darion Williamson, Kentron Poitier, and Ja'Khi Douglas have made their impact, and newcomers Lawayne McCoy, Elijah Moore, and Jaylen Brown are continuing to build chemistry with the quarterbacks.
