The ACC is leveled with talent at the quarterback position for the 2015 season, but who are the top receivers catching those passes?
In the last handful of seasons, we have seen more than a few great receivers come out of the ACC. To name a few: Sammy Watkins, Martavis Bryant, Kelvin Benjamin, Demaryius Thomas and Calvin Johnson. That long line of receiving excellence is poised to continue in 2015. A few have been named to the Biletnikoff watch list and rightfully so.

Previously, we ranked each of the quarterbacks in the ACC, but being a quarterback you must have someone to target down the field. Luckily, the conference offers a pallet of fast, athletic, and elite receivers.
Where most have similarities to each other, they’re also different in various ways that make them the elite player that they truly are. So far through the fall we have seen the talent elevate themselves from where they were in the spring and barring injury, should be one of the most talented groups of receivers that the conference has had, especially in the means of depth.
As I mentioned before, a few of the receivers have been added to the Biletnikoff award watch list and will be denoted with an asterisk beside their names.
I highly encourage you to speak your mind in the comments section at the end and let me know what you think and who should have been added, taken out, etc.
