By the 2015 season, Ole Miss had one of the best receiving corps in the country. Receivers like Laquon Treadwell, Cody Core, Quincy Adeboyejo, Evan Engram, etc. formed a formidable group that gave almost every secondary in the SEC trouble.

Treadwell was the best offensive player that Freeze had during his tenure in Oxford. He was originally part of that same recruiting class as Robert Nkemdiche and Tony Conner, two other players on this list.

In total, Treadwell hauled in 202 passes for 2,393 yards and 21 touchdowns. His best season came in 2015, his junior year, where he caught 83 passes for more than 1,100 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Not only in the SEC but cornerbacks all across the college football landscape had trouble containing Treadwell. He had some of the strongest hands in college football and his height almost always gave him an edge. That edge led the Minnesota Vikings to draft him in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.
