John Shipley· Nov 7, 2026
Shipley argues Parker Washington's WR1-level target volume points toward a big payday, that Wesley Williams and Jalen Huskey are headed for redshirt rookie seasons with little or no playing time, and that Tanner Koziol's offensive role will keep growing.
“That is the value he has ahead of his eventual payday, which seems to be more and more of a sure thing as the season goes on.”
