Wide Receivers

  • Quincy Enunwa
  • Robby Anderson
  • Jamison Crowder
  • Charone Peake
  • Josh Bellamy
  • Greg Dortch

Quincy Enunwa looked ready to breakout as a legitimate WR1 in 2016 until injuries hindered that potential. He will look to stay healthy and reach that ceiling in 2019. Anderson is a speedster who is very good at stretching the field vertically. Crowder is a free agent acquisition who will be an excellent safety blanket for Darnold out of the slot. Peake and Bellamy will provide good depth on the outside while Dortch was very productive out of the slot in college and can provide solid depth in the NFL. Bellamy, Dortch, and Peake will all help on Special Teams as well.

Tight Ends

  • Ryan Griffin
  • Christopher Herndon IV
  • Trevon Wesco
  • Daniel Brown

Griffin is an adequate all-around tight end who is better as a blocker while Herndon showed more explosion in the passing game as a rookie. Wesco is a versatile all-around player who can line up anywhere, including at fullback. Brown will provide more depth early as Herndon serves a suspension to start the year.
