Last year WR Higgins had 15 receptions in 4 games and averaged 11.7 yards/catch, which is a good showing considering his role. But TE Yurosek had more tackles (1 assist) than receptions (0) in 2020.
I do agree that the WRs and TEs have potential, though.
I also agree with the potential. Higgins looks like he could be a real star. Humphreys could run, though he had some trouble actually catching the ball during his truncated frosh season. There are also a few guys to choose from who might emerge. Yurosek isn't a WR, but I thought he looked promising despite not managing to catch a pass last year. (Yes, that may be a leap)
Still, certainly based on career production, but also (to a lesser degree) on obvious potential, I think there is less depth at WR than at most key competitors and less than we have seen at Stanford before (though Stanford has often struggled recruiting WRs).
(This seems to be my parentheses post)
