Can anyone stop Ryan Switzer?

Ummmm, no. Point blank.

Despite not recording a touchdown against Florida State on Saturday, Ryan Switzer caught 14 passes for 158 yards. His longest reception was a 33-yard pass from Mitch Trubisky.

Switzer has become Trubisky’s favorite receiver and go-to receiver.

Some players’ short height and small body frame put them at a disadvantage on the football field. With Switzer, it works in his favor. Switzer is so quick and precise with his running of routes that defensive backs cannot keep up with him. They are always playing ‘catch up.’

In five games this season, Ryan Switzer has caught 47 passes for 587 yards and two touchdowns.

If Switzer continues at his current rate, he may eclipse 100 receptions this season.
