How much playing time do you think Carter gets this season?

Where do you think he fits in on the depth chart?

If he picks up the offense and executes better than the others?...first or second team..if not, the other wide receivers are more athletic and will get the pt...I feel like I'm explaining the process of breathing to a marathon runner[]:dry:

I think right now the WR position is wide wide open. There's definitely a spot for Carter as a starter if he can show up, but to be honest, I'm really just hoping the new guys (Croom, North, Harris, Jenkins) come in and kill it. I don't think we've seen enough skill out of any our current recievers to believe they have what it takes to make it in this league.

I think he gets the nod the first few games until the young pups pick up the playbook

I'm more worried about if we have a QB that will be able to get the ball to our WRs on a consistent basis than who our WRs are right now. Not knocking any of the QBs but 1 of them had better grow up real soon.

He will see significant playing time because he is one of the few game experienced WRs we have. After the likes of Croom, North, that other new WR get into something of a groove, JC will likely be regulated to spot and backup duty. However, it wouldn't surprise me if he ends having a Zach Rogers type season.

Worley's tendency to step back sideways/ duck from an impending hit/ and simultaneously throw has me a bit worried. He did that more than a few times in the spring game. Hope the coaches fix that. I know they noticed it if I did.

different year and different receivers, but many said that White Lightning would disappear in the depth chart last year. there is no way to even guess how much PT Carter may get, with injuries involved, a converted RB playing the slot, and freshmen that will have to learn the playbook and adjust to the speed of college football. In the least, it will be an interesting storyline, come fall.

Both Carter and Blanc will get a lot of PT this season for different reasons. Carter is a good route runner with excellent hands and a good sense of spacing that makes him a very dependable check down and sideline pattern target. Blanc is developing into a guy that can stretch the field and take it to the house.

The kid catches every pass thrown his way. I would find some way to get him on the field. He is a football player.

likely gets 30 catches and makes a few big plays out of the slot, running slants, outs and comeback routes

none of Tennessee's WR have ever started a game. there are very few game reps within the WR group so experience is almost nil. IMO, Jacob is a kid that has great discipline and can be dependent on being where he is supposed to be. Thus, he is likely to get enough reps and throws to lead all WR's in catches this year..

We are very inexperienced at QB and WR going into this season. Passing game is going to struggle and that could carry right into November this year just due to the inexperience of these two groups PLUS, they are learning new coaches and new system.. so those that are dependable and disciplined have best chance for success.

Does anyone know if Carter had any offers out of High School? I'm wondering if he was one of those guys that had D2 and FCS offers, but opted to walk on at UT. Or was he just a complete unknown in the recruiting world that got an opportunity and has made the most of it?
