There's been a lot of receiver talk this fall, and it sounds like there's been plenty of good reasons why. On Tuesday, the media spoke with Washington Receivers Coach Junior Adams, as well as junior receiver Terrell Bynum.
Coach Adams and Bynum didn't give up much on how the role of the receivers has changed in John Donovan's new pro-style attack, but they did talk about being multiple like they were last year under Bush Hamdan, but clearly with some wrinkles involved.
They also talked about placing emphasis on being a bigger receivers room than last year, which means also being more physical; not only when it comes to blocking downfield, but also at the point of attack and trying to get off the line of scrimmage.
There has also been a lot of talk about the true freshmen who have come in and hit the ground running. Jalen McMillan, Rome Odunze, and Sawyer Racanelli have all received praise this fall at one time or another by the coaches or their teammates, and both Adams and Bynum talked more about what has prepared those guys to play right away and what they need to do to take their next steps.
Bynum was asked about being one of the new leaders of the receivers room, what he learned from players last year like seniors Aaron Fuller and Andre Baccellia, as well as what he's seen when watching film of players like Cooper Kupp.
Last, but definitely not least, the media spoke with junior placekicker Peyton Henry, who answered questions about his physical and mental development as UW's lead kicker, being in a position battle with another scholarship placekicker in Tim Horn, as well as how made kicks and missed kicks provide fuel and motivation for him as he continues to hone in on his craft.
