Doctson Comments on Injury

Doctson posted a message on Instagram after the diagnosis on his injured wrist:

Doctson's Absence Further Weakens TCU Offense

TCU has one of the most dynamic offenses in the entire country, but Doctson's injury represents a crucial blow. He turned the corner during his junior season in 2014 with 1,018 receiving yards and 11 touchdown catches, more than doubling his production in both categories from the previous year.

He was expected to continue that production as one of the most talented wide receivers in the country, heading into the 2015 campaign.

In fact, before the season started, Brandon Chatmon of ESPN.com wrote that Doctson could be the best wide receiver prospect for the 2016 NFL draft in the entire Big 12.

The loss of Doctson hampers the Horned Frogs offense, and it hurts even more considering quarterback Trevone Boykin and receivers Emanuel Porter and Ty Slanina have all been plagued by injuries.

Life will be more difficult for TCU without its best wide receiver. Doctson's presence alone creates openings for the other pass-catchers and the running game because opposing defenses focus so much attention his way.
