Asked Erik Link who some of the guys they're looking at are. Thought you all would be interested in his answer since it was a major issue last year
"I don’t think it’s any secret, Mookie Cooper’s a guy that’s dynamic that has the ability to do that. He certainly showed glimpses in the spring that was really, really good. Dominic Lovett’s another young guy. He didn’t drop a ball all spring. I mean, we charted probably over 100 punt catches between pre-practice, during practice, post-practice. That guy did not put a ball on the ground one time. He can certainly do that part of it and then he’s also dynamic with the ball in his hands. Kris Abrams-Draine is a young guy obviously that had a few issues early in the year as a true freshman. Probably shouldn’t have put him in that situation. But I don’t think a lot of people know, he’s the second-fastest player on our team and I’m talking by a tenth of a second. Ja’Mori Maclin’s another guy that we’ve been training at that position and will continue to do that."
