Heading into the season, wide receiver Ryan Wingo was expected to be one of the top options for quarterback Arch Manning. However, in the first game of the season, he only made two receptions for 35 yards. Fans were hoping he would improve in Week 2 against San Jose State, but he struggled early.
In the first half, Wingo did not look at his best. As a result, fans started to post jokes on social media about his struggles to make catches. Here are 10 of the best ones.
