Justin Scott-Wesley – Georgia Wide Receiver

You remember this guy right? The player who averaged 3.2 catches and 62 yards per game before being sidelined with a season-ending knee injury last year. The player who sat out over half of this season with disciplinary and injury issues.

Scott-Wesley has played in a couple of games, but has yet to make a catch. Coach Mark Richt told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he’s well on his way and working hard.

If ever there was a time for him to break out of his 2014 shell, this is it.

Scott-Wesley is the fastest receiver on the team, and he could be the difference-maker against an Auburn secondary that has been torched by some quality receivers this season. If Hutson Mason and Scott-Wesley can connect a couple of times and get into a rhythm, you might finally see some of those deep downfield receptions that Georgia fans have been looking for.
