Gimme 5: Who is ready for an expanded role with their team?

2. Legedu Naanee, WR, San Diego Chargers

Vincent Jackson has dug his heels in and is refusing to report, plus he has to serve a three-game suspension to start the season. Jackson had nine touchdowns and averaged 17.2 yards on his 68 receptions. Legedu Naanee only had 24 receptions for an average of 10.1 yards per catch and just two touchdowns last season, but now he gets the call to replace Jackson's production. Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers averages more than 30 passes a game, and without Jackson teams will focus on Antonio Gates and Malcom Floyd. Naanee will get the opportunity of a lifetime to be a starter and grab at least twice as many receptions than he had a year ago.
