With Randall Cobb and Chris Matthews gone, Kentucky wide receiver La'Rod King is set to be the main target for quarterback Morgan Newton and head coach Joker Phillips agrees. When Phillips was asked whether King was ready to be the number one receiver, he succinctly responded "He better be."
King has the size and athleticism to be a go-to target but what he will need to succeed is for someone to step up to take some pressure off him.
