Below, I've listed our 2018 offense. We could literally return every starter, depending if Nabers and Leonard start.
Assumptions:
*Returning starters are in bold. Obviously some positions are up for debate, like whether Cam starts, the 3rd WR, and OL.
*No early-entry prospects. Potentially, Murray, Tate, Patrick, and Francois could leave, but if I'm honest, I don't think any of them will go, which is why I've listed them below.
This also does not predict attrition, nor does it include any future recruits.
Without further ado, check out the 2018 offense ...
