I can't see any professional teams taking an interest in a wide receiver that

has been injured as much as Gunner. There are great receivers all over the country that are similar in abilities, but without the "long injury history". If he comes back and has an injury-free year and puts up the numbers that we all know he is capable of, his professional stock goes way up. Oh, and Gunner is a junior, not a senior as per https://byucougars.com/roster/football/2021

Gunner, Katoa, and Empey could all be leaving

Katoa NFL?

No chance of that. But 5 years playing college football is plenty.

I think Ropati could be an Allgeier lite RB. Similar body and running style.

11/1/21 8:40pm

If he were going to be that he wouldn’t be RB4.

I think you're reading more into it. BYU doesn't release depth chart beyond 1s and 2s.

11/1/21 8:59pm

A Rod has stated explicitly that McChesney is RB3

11/1/21 9:07pm

McChesney runs very much like Katoa, so I guess if the coaches are fine with type of back... (shrug)

Yeah, maybe we see some shifts once other backs can actually get reps?

Know that Miles Davis is most likely going to be RB1

He's got a lot to learn about playing RB

I assume most COVID Jrs will move on. Just like last year.

Why would Katoa leave early?

Academically, he's a senior

ColoSpgs

11/1/21 2:41pm

Yep. If not NFL career ahead, or no desire for grad school paid for, move on. Smart decision financially.

Can he not continue to take random easy classes? If I knew I had the chance to

Gunner should stay if he wants to go to the NFL. This is not the year to do it

I think Gunner stays.. The other two will leave I think.

Gunner would be strange. He's one big year from being a draft pick.

mokelembembe

11/1/21 2:38pm

Gunnar needs a season with no injuries so he can show some consistency.

Eddie

11/1/21 2:39pm

Yet his injuries this year have both come from guys rolling up from behind him because he was blocking downfield.

specsauce

11/1/21 2:42pm

To me, it isn't about showing he can play without getting injured.

Eddie

11/1/21 2:46pm

I gotcha. I agree with that. I think Gunnar deserves more targets. When he is targeted, he usually makes the most of

I didn’t want to point that out, but yes. I don’t know why he did it. It’s like a moth to a flame.

Katoa isn't an NFL back. He'll be back. Romney should be back if he wants the NFL. Empey will probably leave. I'm glad

I think your 2nd list all return if they want NFL. And Gunner too. Maybe Mandell goes. He could.

Has Chaz really put enough on tape to be drafted?

OC Coug

No, I don't think he will be drafted. But I don't think he wants to be in college anymore

I can tell you that your speculation isn't far off.

Belboz

He needs more plays at Safety before an nfl will pay him his potential.

Big Daddy D

I couldn't agree more. I just don't think he is going to stick around for that to happen.
