Noah Gray leads Blue Devils in receiving touchdowns

It is hard to believe that a player who only had five receptions a season ago, could lead the Blue Devils this year in receiving touchdowns. However, that is exactly what may happen with tight end Noah Gray.

The sophomore, while he did only have 5 receptions last year, two of them were for touchdowns. This is why I believe he will lead the team because he will likely be Daniel Jones’ favorite target in the red zone.

The two have already shown a connection in this part of the field as Jones completed a two-yard touchdown pass to Gray in the Blue Devils’ first scrimmage this year. This should be a breakout year for the tight end.
