Petrino sees promise in freshmen receivers

"They're playmakers."

Nobody is saying that Ryan Lankford of Jacksonville (Fla.) Paxon, Darius Millines of Delray Beach (Fla.) American Heritage, Spencer Harris of Greenwood (Ark.) and Anthony Williams of Chesapeake (Va.) Atlantic Shores will be the next Brandon Lloyd, Greg Lewis, Walter Young and Aaron Moorehead.

Illinois doesn't want to play too many first-year freshmen. Nevertheless, these receivers might have guys higher up on the depth chart looking over their shoulders.
