Minnesota Golden Gophers News: It’s Chris Autman-Bell’s turn to star at WR

Chris Autman-Bell

Senior Chris Autman-Bell was Minnesota’s No. 3
receiver two years ago behind Tyler Johnson and Rashod
Bateman, and the No. 2 target last year before Bateman
opted out. But with those two now in the NFL, Autman-Bell
is poised to be the team’s next top target.


Autman-Bell has played in 33 career games and has
made 78 catches for 1,250 yards (21st in school history)
and six touchdowns. He enters the 2021 season with an
average of 16.0 yards per catch, good for a tie for 10th in
team history. He has also caught at least one pass in 31
games and has made one catch in 27 straight games, tied
for the eighth longest active streak in the FBS.


In seven games last year, he caught 22 passes for
430 yards and one score. That came after recording 28
catches for 371 yards and five touchdowns in 2019 and
28 catches (fourth all-time for a Minnesota freshman) for
449 yards (third all-time for a Minnesota freshman) in 2018
(also led team with 16.03 yards/catch).

    You actually make it appear so easy along with your presentation but I to find this topic to be really something that I think I’d never understand. It kind of feels too complicated and very huge for me. I am having a look forward on your next post, I?¦ll attempt to get the hold of it!
