TOP GAME OF THE SEASON
According to Pro Football Focus, Bradford's top game of the season was against Washington State, which is surprising given that he went over 100 yards versus Stanford and Ohio State, respectively. He was targeted 12 times against the Cougars and caught eight of those passes, totaling 68 yards. Eight of those receptions went for first downs.
OUTLOOK ON BRADFORD
Bradford's season grade in 2017 was 55.0, and he dropped five passes and scored zero touchdowns, so him jumping to 79.7 showed just how much of a breakout season the Oregon native had. Bradford will be a key piece of Oregon State's offense once again this upcoming season, but Nebraska transfer Tyjon Lindsey will also play in the slot and will see his fair share of targets. It will be interesting to see how offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren uses these weapons as he tries to share the wealth. Bradford enters his senior season with 913 career receiving yards and seven touchdowns.
