proven USF big-play target with bounce-back grit
A.J. Love’s case is all about explosiveness and resilience: in the 2011 season, he caught 9 passes for 122 yards and a touchdown, and across his South Florida career he was known for stretching the field, including a 14.8 yards-per-catch mark and 8 career receiving touchdowns. Reliable coverage also highlighted a tough injury path—he tore ACLs in both knees earlier in his career—so the differentiator here isn’t just speed, it’s the kind of stubborn, back-from-the-dead competitiveness coaches love in a receiver room.
