| 0:44.8 | Welcome to Wide Receivers Preview Part 1. |
| 0:58.4 | You know, a year ago as we looked at the wide receiver position, we thought Stefan |
| 1:02.4 | Diggs was making, I don't know, maybe a little bit of a downgrade when it came to the passing |
| 1:07.1 | offense going for Minnesota Buffalo and he was maybe about a round five pick at the time. We thought |
| 1:11.9 | Julio Jones would be the best Atlanta wide receiver. We thought DeAndre Hopkins might be fading a |

| 1:49.3 | better? Heath, I'm giving you 10 words to give your thoughts about the 2021 wide receiver group. |
