Michael McGrew

For those worried about Virginia’s receiving corps, there were encouraging signs throughout the team’s first open practice of training camp. There was Michael McGrew, looking sharp, fast and (most importantly) open. There was Deyon Williams , snagging long balls and running crisp routes. There was Emmanuel Byers , scooting out of the slot position for several touchdown catches. Even Imhotep Durham, a walk-on, was a star Friday with a pair of sensational grabs.

The wideouts barely dropped any balls all day and seemed to be heavily involved in the offense. Granted, it was only one practice, but it pokes a hole in the theory that UVa’s receivers won’t be a significant and productive part of the Cavalier offense this season.
