West Virginia football‘s David Sills V isn’t just one of the best wide receivers in the nation, he’s the best wide receiver — and it’s not even close.

In his second stint with the Mountaineers – this time lining up outside rather than under center – David Sills V is a top-flight, No. 1 target for the Mountaineer’s offense. Long gone are the days of Sills playing quarterback. He’s all about catching touchdowns now.

He’ll be a senior this fall, and many are expecting him to be one of the best wide receivers in the country – and I think he’ll be the best. That’s a bold claim, but if anyone’s done enough to enter the year with the mantle of college football’s best receiver, it’s Sills.

The Mountaineers are known for their great talents at the position, too. With players like Tavon Austin, Shelton Gibson and Kevin White coming before him, Sills has seen the WVU blueprint.

What makes up a great wide receiver, though? The following 5 reasons will explain why Sills will be the nation’s best wide receiver in 2018.
