  • You see, we covered the timeline of his shoulder injury, which is reported to have occurred during the November 19, 2016 game against Arizona State.  So the 2016 statistics already incorporate a starting quarterback with an injured throwing shoulder.

    Well that will all fall to new wide receivers coach Matt Lubick, who has taken over for former wide receiver coach Bush Hamden.  Hamden, you recall, was hired by the Atlanta Falcons as their quarterback coach.

    Lubbick has already made his presence felt in the recruitment of three solid wide receivers for 2018.
