Catching 1,000 yards worth of passes hasn’t exactly been commonplace at Ole Miss. Until Laquon Treadwell did as much last season (1,153 yards to lead the SEC), only one other Rebels wideout had reached that plateau. That was Shay Hodge with 1,135 in 2009.

After Treadwell, Quincy Adeboyejo and sixth-round draft pick Cody Core each had more than 600 yards receiving. Damore’ea Stringfellow had 503 and tight end Evan Engram had 464.

So which Rebel receiver can be the go-to guy and haul in 1,000 yards in 2016? Are there too many hands to go around for that to happen, including redshirt freshman Van Jefferson or sophomore DaMarkus Lodge, two off-the-chart talents from the 2015 class?

It wouldn’t be too terribly tough to find some voices who think freshmen A.J. Brown or DK Metcalf have the chops to become immediate impact players. Maybe not 1,000-yard guys already. Or maybe so. There is plenty of 1,000-yard potential to go around the yard and an arm in Chad Kelly that can lead the way.

 QUINCY ADEBOYEJO

Why he will: Adeboyejo has been all-team, patiently waiting his turn to grab the spotlight. He doubled his yards from his sophomore to junior year and has the talent to double last season’s 600.

Why he won’t: Adeboyejo has been all-team. He’ll continue to be if that’s what’s necessary, if “if necessary” means that Stringfellow is the go-to receiver.

DAMORE’EA STRINGFELLOW

Why he will: Size, strength, hands. Stringfellow not only has what it takes to be the Rebels’ 1,000-yard receiver. He has the talent to lead the SEC in receiving.

Why he won’t: Like Adeboyejo, the roster is so talented and so deep at receiver, Ole Miss may find it more necessary to have three 750-yard receivers than one 1,000-yarder.

VAN JEFFERSON

Why he will: Jefferson was named the spring’s most improved player. Redshirting and watching Treadwell and Core in the system last season will pay off huge dividends. He’s a top SEC talent waiting for his turn, and it could be sooner than later.

Why he won’t: Like Treadwell owning the spotlight ahead of Adeboyejo, it may just not be Jefferson’s turn at 1,000.

DAMARKUS LODGE

Why he will: Lodge had only one catch last season in eight games. That makes it easy to forget he was a five-star Under Armour All-American and one of the nation’s most sought-after prospects. The talent is there to be an SEC elite.

Why he won’t: It will be hard to go from one catch as a freshman to 1,000 yards as a sophomore, but like Jefferson, Lodge is wildly talented. So is Stringfellow and Lodge’s high school teammate Adeboyejo. Lodge can make the highlights, but he has some talented teammates.

A.J. BROWN

Why he will: Of the talented trio of freshmen receivers coming in (including Metcalf and Tre Nixon), Brown appears the most SEC-ready. He’s mean and plays with an intent to prove you wrong. He can get open, get it in traffic and out-muscle defensive backs or linebackers. If he quickly becomes a factor for Chad Kelly, watch out.

Why he won’t: As the story goes, Ole Miss is incredibly talented at his position and Brown, as good as he is, is still a true freshman.
