Spring position check-up: Receivers

This has been a position of strength in recent seasons. And that will continue, even with Rondale Moore off a year early to the NFL.

Moore almost didn't return in 2020, opting out amid the pandemic before deciding to play his junior season once the Big Ten announced it would play football.
