4. Receiving yards in a season

Sticking with another individual record here, I think you have a chance to see Justyn Ross and/or Tee Higgins explode.

The two wide receivers have the nation’s best QB throwing to them this season and they’re going to each get a lot of targets.

I have a feeling that Ross, who had 1,000 yards receiving last year, will have an opportunity to chase Sammy Watkins’ record of 1,464 yards receiving in a season, set back in 2013.

It might be a little tough for Ross to do that because the Tigers will spread the ball around, but I think he’ll have enough explosive plays to at least be in the conversation come December, especially now that he’ll be a full-time starter.
