per Bleacher Report:
1. Rashad Still, WR, Minnesota
2016 Stats: 18 receptions, 349 yards, 0 TD
Give him a little bit of time to work his magic and P.J. Fleck is something of a wide receiver whisperer.
In Fleck's second and final season at Rutgers, Mohamed Sanu suddenly blossomed into a 1,200-yard receiver and a third-round draft pick. Over the last four seasons at Western Michigan, Fleck helped Corey Davis become the career leader in FBS receiving yards and the No. 5 overall pick in the 2017 draft.
And he has already pinpointed Rashad Still as his next masterpiece-in-waiting.
Fleck told Andy Greder of the Pioneer Press:
He has to be a bell cow. [...] (No.) 88 will get the football. And, I told him earlier in the week, I said, 'You can either handle this like a mature man and understand what I'm telling you, that you are going to get the ball and stop working, or you know you're gonna get the football and you change your best and become one of the best wide receivers in the Big Ten.
Still didn't do much of anything last season, but neither did Minnesota's passing offense as a whole. The Golden Gophers had a grand total of nine receiving touchdowns, most of which graduated along with Drew Wolitarsky. But as the returning leader in yards, Still is clearly going to be their main guy.
On the first play from scrimmage in their spring game, Still had a 47-yard catch that could be the start of a beautiful calendar year.
