Wide Receiver-(5)

Mike Evans, Vincent Jackson, Kenny Bell, Adam Humphries, Russell Shepard

Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson are two locks to make the 2016 roster.  Kenny Bell had a full season off to learn and adapt into the offense, and could also get some looks on special teams with fellow receiver Adam Humphries.  Humphries had a successful season last year in the slot and the hope is he can continue to grow as a player.

Russell Shepard is a special team’s ace and could make his roster spot once again with his play there.  Louis Murphy could edge his way onto the roster, but with him recovering from his ACL tear, the advantage goes to the younger crop of receivers.
