I'm okay with Hatcher staying, but don't think it's an unpopular opinion to say he is far and away our least aggressive WR. He is passive when the ball is coming towards him, and that cost him catches, and I believe led to an interception or two this season. He is too timid and needs to attack the ball.
I don't know if it's being timid or just not focused, I'll go with lack of consistent focus and too many drops, but will pull a What that was amazing type catch every so often.
I see it as a program type player, similar to Meeks. You lose nothing by adding a guy like Meeks and look at the upside we found compared to his production at UGA. Same here, if he's a good veteran presence / locker room type guy and the most you get out of him is solid scout team reps, then that's enough with a 105 man roster now.
We have 105 this year
But it's the same WR coach?
Fran is doing a NJ favor
which is weird because he’s one of the better blocking WR’s i’ve ever seen.
NJ better do Fran a favor in 2026 because they didn’t do him any this year
He just looks like he sorta is out of it at times. That’s why I said lack of focus or consistency of focus. Like he’s day dreaming.
Not to mention a string of Rutgers QB’s and OC’s
If he gets bigger and stronger he will improve. He lacks the strength of Meeks or Ross Simmons. His lack of strength is probably why he is timid attacking the ball
