But I'm not so sure it overstates ND's reliance on older players.

Last year, our 3 top receivers were:
- Javon McKinley (5th year senior)
- Ben Skowronek (5th year senior)
- Avery Davis (true senior)

In 2019:
- Chase Claypool (true senior)
- Chris Finke (5th year senior)
- Javon McKinley (true senior)

In 2018:
- Miles Boykin (true senior)
- Chase Claypool (hey, a junior!)
- Chris Finker (true senior)

In comparison to other top programs, those dudes are senior citizens.

(And, aside from Claypool, not very dynamic players.)
