3. Felton Davis III is the Big Ten’s most underrated receiver
Who is the best receiver in the Big Ten after five weeks of the season? It’s tough to say, but there are plenty of interesting candidates.
Maryland’s D.J. Moore leads the conference in yardage and touchdowns, Simmie Cobbs Jr. is a good candidate, Parris Campbell and DaeSean Hamilton are up there. There is talent around the conference at the receiver position, but is there a more underrated pass-catcher than Felton Davis III?
It could be argued that everyone overlooks him because of his quiet first two seasons in East Lansing, but he’s been a breakout star for the Spartans this year. In fact, he ranks 10th in the conference with 256 receiving yards, second with four touchdown receptions and fifth with 21 receptions.
After his 114-yard, two-touchdown performance on Saturday, fans were quick to praise him and one might be led to believe he’s the most underrated wide out in the conference. It might be true, but he needs more games like Saturday’s moving forward.
