Ingram Smith, Bud Elliot back again for another episode of the Noel cast.

This is our wide receiver position preview.

Interesting group to talk about Bud, got a lot of experienced guys that have been in the system for quite a while.

You've got some talented young individuals and you know you have some big shoes to fill, both metaphorical and literal.

So, interested to talk about this group.

We'll group the tight ends with it as well. So we'll jump in here and try to give you as good

of an idea as to one of the position groups that may have as many questions surrounding

it as any on the 2024 Florida State team.

Yeah man, I feel like, you know, in some ways the defense and the O-line and the run game

provide the floor for this football team, but the receiving core is largely going to in my opinion determine the ceiling for this team like how good it's going to be is probably going completely shut down,

not completely shut down, but limit your run game

if your receivers are not a serious threat

to the opposing defense.

All right, so first down, let's just get to it.

How big is the drop-off?

You lose 130 catches, 1,700 and almost 1,800 yards between Kion, Johnny and

Jihim Bell and and obviously the Kion caught 11 touchdowns, which is nuts. Johnny 2,

Jaheim 2. And yet in some, like the drop-off to me is real and like you go from one of the best receiving

course in the conference to I don't know 7th 8th 9th 10th somewhere around there in the

ACC as far as like rooms I think I'd rather have,

could be wrong, could be a little bit better depending on how things shake out.

But also like down the stretch, you didn't really have healthy Kiankiankulman at all.
