For all the high-flying, high-scoring offenses the Ducks have put together over the past three decades, they have never had a dominating wide receiver. Nobody who went on to have a decorated NFL career. Meanwhile, LSU, Alabama and Ohio State seem to have receivers drafted in the first round of every NFL Draft. Our Mr. FishDuck took a break from his ...

Darren Perkins of FishDuck.com believes that the Oregon Ducks might have a future NFL first round pick at wide receiver in Dakorien Moore.

No "Star" receiver comes to mind, and right on, Meg! If Dakorien can fit into the mold of Jamar, Justin, they were 1 & 2 on the LSU team with Burrow at QB, jeez what a team! I remember when USC came in, and it was Barkley to Marqise Lee, though it was No.2, Robert Woods, who's still playing in the NFL, and back a while, it was UCLA's Cade McNown to Danny Farner that was TROUBLE.

It would be incredible if the Ducks finally had a QB-WR connection that could not be stopped!

Not stars that went on to great success in the NFL, but Jeff Maehl and Joe Reitzug were exciting to watch at Oregon.

Duck WR's from the past: Leland Glass, Bob Newland, Greg Specht. Of Course, Sammi Parker, Keenan Howry, Jaison Williams. Cameron Colvin, unfortunately is most remembered for fumbling out of bounds, in the 2007, 31-24 loss to Cal. 

 

But the best play involving a WR from an opponent

 

 

 

Prior to Troy Franklin, Dillon Mitchell was another extraordinary talent.  To your point, I would be thrilled to have a freakishly imposing receiving opposite Jeremiah Smith for the next couple of years.

 

We used to say unequivocally that defense wins championships and you still need that be in the conversation.  However, the Alabama vs. Clemson prize fights starting in 2015 has proven that grown-men wide receivers will win championships.  Ohio State proved it again this past season.

Watching Dakorien's highlight reel, does anyone else notice his QB No. 12?   Who is he and where did he land?  He looks pretty impressive too!  😎

Yes, just another step in our OBD's evolution.

Williams, amazing athletically, but just couldn't hold on to the ball.

How about Bobby Moore/Ahmad Rashad? Not a bad professional career.

I still remember that Pat Sullivan, QB-Auburn won the '71 Heisman, Ahmad finished 7th in the voting.  Rashad did go on to have very good NFL career, a lot better than Sullivan's, and an even better run in broadcasting.
