Kenny Johnson on Texas Tech's Deep WR Room, Will Hammond

Kenny Johnson on Texas Tech's Deep WR Room, Will Hammond

Kenny Johnson, Tech's newest wideout, already thinks the Red Raider receiver room is the deepest he's ever seen.

Johnson didn't hold back when asked about the talent surrounding him. He called this group of receivers the best he's ever been a part of, a bold statement considering his previous collegiate experience and the talent he played alongside at Pittsburgh. This high praise signals a different kind of offensive potential for the Red Raiders.

For Red Raider fans heading to Jones AT&T Stadium this fall, a stacked receiver unit offers serious promise for the offense. More options for the quarterbacks like Behren Morton mean defenses can't key in on just one threat, potentially opening up the entire offense for big plays. This depth provides a safety net, allowing different players to step up when needed and could lead to significantly more points on the scoreboard.

Whether this talent translates into a top-tier passing attack on Saturdays remains the biggest question of the preseason.
