For all intents and purposes, Nate Brown has the skill to be a No. 1 receiver for Missouri. As it stands, the Tigers top two receivers are Brown and Moore, and then everybody else.

That’s not to discredit the work of the remaining receivers, but Brown and Moore have set themselves apart from the rest of the receiving core.

While Brown spend the 2016 season as a medical redshirt, his 2015 production was respectable. Brown produced 326 yards receiving, and was one of Missouri’s top pass-catching threats.

But for his injury in 2016, Brown may very well have obtained a 1,000 yard season, or very close to it. As long as he stays healthy this year, I expect to see Brown’s production at least double from 2015.
