Is the expectation that Jones and Fuller will slide right back into starting roles once healthy?

I hope not. They missed a crucial spring with a new WR coach in a group that underwhelmed horribly last year (Browning being Browning notwithstanding). I really hope the underclassmen WRs play, or at the very least Fuller and Jones genuinely beat them out in competition. Jones kinda meandered about and Fuller fell off hard down the stretch last year. I get he was probably injured, but I'm going to have an aneurysm if we don't see Ozzie/Spiker/Bynum in copious amounts. Puka "Oedipus" Nacua too.

    It will be special to see Ty Jones come in on redzone only for jump balls in the corner.

    This will be setup by the "here comes Chico on the reverse."

    I go back and forth. I do not think they’ll be handed the job so to speak.

    While it was only 1 game, I thought vs. Auburn they really showed what they were capable of, when deployed correctly.

    Ozzie was mentioned by name by Pete in regards to who impressed. Every time that happens a player gets time.

    I think Bynum/Ozzie/Spiker/Lowe showed some things in spring to make it a competition in fall. Opera Singer was healthy and yet never was talked about as doing anything. That tells me the young guys will get equal reps with Fuller and Jones and the best will play.

    Pete has always said rotation is made by position coaches, and Junior doesn’t owe anyone favors.

    I'm still on the fence on if I think Jones will ever develop into anything worthwhile. He has all the physical tools and still has 2 years left but I expected him to make more of a splash last year. The knock on him in high school was that he played like a pussy when facing talented teams and tore it up against crappy defenders. He hasn't done much to change that label imo

    I want to believe. He looked like a beast in high school. From what I’ve seen at UW, I don’t see a guy that is fluid enough. He moves awkwardly and looks clumsy.

    He coached up the young guys really well and was a leader in the meeting room?

    I knew Jones would be a pussy when he said in an interview that he didn't like getting too physical because his brother used to beat him up.

    I'd prefer to have a WR that would kick his brother's ass.

    Now's the time to appreciate burning Ty's redshirt for a whopping 7 catches in 2017.

    If a guy with his measurables isn't garnering enough NFL interest to leave before year 5, then we probably don't want him for year 5 anyways.
