As I touched on last week, Christian Kirk is a true freshman wide receiver that came in highly touted  as the number 4 wide receiver in the country according to 247sports.com.  Last week I wrote that the he lead the SEC in receiving yards and receiving touchdowns.  Despite the bye week, Kirk still leads the SEC in receiving yards, and trails only Ole Miss’s Quincy Adeboyejo by 1 receiving touchdown.  I did leave out the fact that he does have a punt return for a touchdown, and with his skill set, there is a chance we see much more from him.  This week’s game against Alabama will go a long way towards solidifying his SEC Heisman hype, or just showing that a great talent got lucky at the start of his first season.
