Laquon Treadwell 2015 Preview
By Charlie CampbellCareer Recap: Ole Miss put together a tremendous 2013 recruiting class with some of the top talents in the nation. One of the stars of that class was Treadwell, who was ranked as one of the top players in the nation and among the best wide receivers. Treadwell stepped onto the field and contributed immediately as a freshman. He had 48 catches for 632 yards and five scores while serving as the No. 2 receiver to Donte Moncrief.
As a sophomore, Treadwell played well even though his quarterback Bo Wallace was extremely streaky and missed some opportunities for more completions to Treadwell. He recorded 48 receptions for 632 yards and five touchdowns across nine games.
The year ended on a sour note as Treadwell suffered a gruesome season-ending injury against Auburn. Late in the game with Ole Miss down by four points, Treadwell was about to cross the goal line with a critical touchdown when he was ripped down from behind by a defender. The awkward takedown bent Treadwell’s leg backward the wrong direction and caused a broken fibula and dislocated ankle. The tackle looked like it could have caused even more damage than that. To add insult to injury, Treadwell fumbled the ball just before falling over the goal line for a touchback to the Tigers. That play ended Treadwell’s season, but he still was an All-SEC Second-Team selection.
2015 Season Outlook: The 2015 schedule will provide some excellent tests for Treadwell. After a few warmups, he will go to Alabama and take on cornerback Eddie Jackson. That will be a better test before his first game in October, when Treadwell takes on the best cornerback in the nation: Florida’s Vernon Hargreaves III. If Treadwell gets the better of Hargreaves, that could sent a jolt into the receiver’s draft stock.
Late in November, Treadwell will have back-to-back tests to close out his junior year. LSU has a good cornerback tandem in juniors Tre’Davious White and Rashard Robinson. To end the regular season in the Egg Bowl, Treadwell will see the duo of Mississippi State’s Will Redmond and Taveze Calhoun. The Bulldog corners are big, and it will be interesting to see if Williams can gain separation going against them.
Skill-Set Summary: There is a lot to like about Treadwell. He is a smooth, polished receiver who does everything well. He runs good routes, has reliable hands, has good body control along the sideline, gets separation out of his breaks and uses his size well to shield defenders from the ball.
Treadwell had a nice burst with some run-after-the-catch skills as well. He can break some tackles while using speed to fire into openings and really looks good to pick up yards after the catch. As a sophomore, Treadwell was very good at picking up yards on bubble screens. He is skilled on the back-shoulder routes that are extremely popular with NFL offensive coordinator and quarterbacks.
Treadwell also looks like a team player. There are also plays where he is a beast as a blocker, and when his quarterback runs, he wasn’t becoming a fan.
In speaking with scouts, they said that Treadwell really impressed them and their comment on him was, “he’s the real deal.” However, that is based on his play before his broken leg and dislocated ankle. It wouldn’t be surprising if Treadwell has an injury hangover into the 2015 season.
2016 NFL Draft Expectations: Treadwell’s draft stock is tough to estimate because some players make quick recoveries from injuries while others seemed to have their play subdued for a year afterwards. He also will be breaking in a new quarterback in 2015. If Treadwell returns to his pre-injury form, he looks like a first-rounder. If the junior has a down year, he might be a second-day pick, but if his production and play are down, he could return to Ole Miss for his senior year.

AgamemnonDo you think
this team is “close”
to being a double-digit winner?w
vYes. With Mannion, the smartest QB in the room. One more year for Oline and a good draft. Even Fisher can get 10 wins. 😉
AgamemnonI would like to see some Mannion
in the last month of the season.I mean, why not? I’m not saying
they should get him all bulgerized
but let him play some — give it to Gurley,
throw quick passes, that sort of thing.
Get him some experience. Its too early
to do it now, cause they aint gonna admit
the season is over, but maybe in the
last month or so.w
vWhen we get 8 loses. That might only be two more games. And how healthy can it be for our QBs to play behind this injured line?
