Sheppard is a big-time wideout.
Last season for Vandy, he caught 47 passes for 684 yards and eight touchdowns, averaging 14.6 yards per catch. As a junior, he caught 60 passes for 776 yards and nine touchdowns.
In all, he'll be bringing 2,067 total yards and 21 touchdowns – plus four years of experience – to Sanders' team. The importance of that type of production and veteran college football leadership can't be understated.
Will Sheppard is the complete package
