I've heard a lot of good things about this guy from multiple places. He's really lighting it up and turning some heads. Parker could be that X receiver we've been desperately missing. That could help improve the one aspect of offense that's also desperately needed to be fixed. The raw talent of Parker, the reliability of Gill, the speed of Wetjen, the list goes on. Our WR corps could finally be turning the corner.

Again, Iowa football doesn't "desperately need" anything

Again, we'll see about Wetjen at receiver.

Other than "now" screens and reverses, I just don't see much opportunity for him at receiver.

Kaden is a straight line runner and that's how he'll be used

Parker is probably too small to be the X receiver, but I look forward to seeing him make plays at the other WR positions.

I'd add the big boys Reese VDZ, (who was playing well until he was injured) Howard and Buie are in year three and had some moments as the year progressed.
