  Missouri's new wide receivers have attracted all the attention this offseason, but a returning wideout might be the most pivotal piece in the Tigers' new passing game. You can describe him as a newcomer, too. Jalen Knox, back for his third year in the program, is not the player he's been the last two seasons. That's by design. "I feel like J-Knox is going to blow back up this year," wideout Maurice Massey said after a recent practice. "With the offense we have now it puts everyone in the place they need to be and uses them the right way." If you interpreted that as a knock on the former offensive staff, your instincts were probably right.

"Wherever you put him he's gonna make plays," wideout Dominic Gicinto added. "He's just really dynamic. He's got speed. He can get in and out of cuts. He can catch the ball. He's going to be everywhere this year." With practices closed to reporters, Drinkwitz has been careful not to disclose too much about his offense through the first week of preseason camp. But he's not keeping his plans for Knox completely undercover. "He's got incredible speed, good hands (and) he really wants to be good," Drinkwitz said after Tuesday's practice. "We've got to do a better job offensively of getting him the ball in space. We're gonna have to be creative in finding ways for him to touch it." Earlier this summer Drinkwitz even suggested Knox might return to his days as an option quarterback in certain packages. "I definitely could," Knox said, "if I needed to." - Post-Dispatch
