Michigan State Football: Cam Chambers could be solid No. 2 receiver

After a strong showing against Northwestern in Week 6, Cam Chambers proved he could be a nice fill-in No. 2 receiver for Michigan State football.

No Cody White, potentially no problem. While the Spartans will be without their No. 2 receiver for a few weeks with a broken hand, they could turn to Cam Chambers, in a pinch.

The redshirt sophomore wide out proved to be much more than just a depth piece on Saturday against Northwestern, surpassing his season totals from a season ago in just one game. He was one of Brian Lewerke’s favorite weapons, catching all five of his targets for 82 yards — he had five catches for 66 yards in 2017.

If there’s one thing we learned from this performance, it’s that Chambers could be the perfect, sure-handed fill-in for White. Both have a similar style of play which is why he could be 2A to Darrell Stewart Jr.’s 2B, in terms of favorite targets for Lewerke.

Chambers runs clean, crisp routes and is good at finding the soft spot in the defense. He also showed off his strong hands and concentration with multiple catches along the sideline, forcing him to drag his foot to stay inbounds.

After spring ball, it looked like Chambers would be one of those impact receivers, but he hadn’t truly gotten a shot until Saturday — he’s also been hurt for most of this season.

If he can continue that momentum and build on what he did against Northwestern, we could see the emergence of yet another solid receiver, giving Lewerke a No. 3/No. 4 option when White comes back — and that’s not even mentioning Jalen Nailor who will also be up in that top-four group.

The one position group on offense you don’t have to worry about? Wide receivers.
