Richaud Floyd is another receiver who doesn’t strike fear in the hearts of opposing defenses, but he offers good upside for Missouri.

I mention Floyd not so much because he will be a factor so much as he could be, but he has a promising future as senior players depart the program. Floyd has the potential to become a solid contributor, at worst.

In his first season with the Tigers, Floyd averaged 23.5 yards per catch, from four receptions and a 94 yard season.

Missouri recruited Floyd for his speed, quickness, and the ability to turn any given play into a scoring opportunity. Floyd has the ability to stretch the field, and make opposing defenses pay with his size and agility.
