    Bobby, when I saw the title my 1st thought was Pitts. Then I thought that was too easy and thought any Dewayne Dixon coached wr. Jabar was one of the first I thought about. Doreing's got a Touchdown was another one. He'll might even put Pearsol on the list after next year.

    Especially if you’re talking 15* yards. Pitts pretty tough on a good throw short

    Why not Dwayne Dixon himself?

    Travis McGriff deserves some consideration imo.

    Like the rb question...there are no wrong answers. I really started watching the Gators when it was Reaves to Alvarez on the jv team.

    Having said that, Pitts was too much of a mismatch against any coverage.

    Jemalle Cornelius was forever making that 12-15 yd intermediate catch

    A good throw to Pitts cannot be defended. Double cover him all you want and it does no good. He really took it to Alabama.

    Dallas Baker as a senior is solid choice as well.

    The parameters lend itself to being a stud TE. And Pitts was the best of the best. Kirkpatrick was great… but not in the same ball park as KP.

    I think a lot of these are extremely affected by recency bias (like the 2 yard plunge thread), but with that being said, with all the great choices listed here, I am still going with Pitts.

    Recency bias notwithstanding, I would go with Kyle Pitts for number one for all the reasons you mentioned. However Wes Chandler would be my big number two, he still leads Florida receivers with 21 yards per reception in his career and no one had better hands or was more elusive. By the way, he averaged 16 yards per reception in the NFL.

    Percy is definitely my choice if we need 40 yards!

    He could go up and get it like no other and when his feet hit the ground, you better wrap up.
