Outlook: The YellowJackets have only six starters returning and will go as far as RB Jeremy Sessums takes them. Last year Sessums sprinted for nearly 1,400 yards, twenty scores, and helped Coach JG Cartwright's squad win nine games. Hilton Maynor should be the squad's top WR. Who will start under center is up for debate. Players on both lines are young and will need to learn as the year moves along. As Sessums goes so go the Jackets.
