Wide Receivers will be broken into two positions, Split Ends and Slot Receivers. Each need different skills, and is very different positions.
Slot Receivers of all the changes Coach Rod will bring to the field, use of these dynamite players has to be most excited. Getting ball into these types of athlete’s hands in space is going to make defenses defend the entire field.
These are the type of players "Old Michigan" never even truly considered, but the ability to take a short pass and turn into the a huge gain makes an offense more efficient. Terrence Robinson (T-Rob), Martavious Odoms and Michael Shaw all have the skill and talent to be outstanding in the slot. And again, their skills complement each other.
T-Rob is explosive, with good hands, and an excellent ball carrier. He is also great in spac
e and has ability to make first defender miss.
Odoms is probably a better receiver at this time, has better hands, but not as dangerous a runner or after the catch.
Shaw is excellent ball carrier who will need work to refine his receiving skills. And a great bonus to recruiting this type of player is they make very good to excellent return men.
