KJ Duff News, Rumors, Updates - Rutgers Scarlet Knights | FOX Sports

Records catch of the year in loss Duff hauled in all five targets for 127 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-36 loss versus Penn State.

Impact Duff reeled in an impossible one-handed catch that should top the season's highlight drills, and although the sophomore can't join the NFL ranks yet, he certainly added a doozy to his resume. Dudd caught 60 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns this season, and it's possible that two years at Rutgers might be enough for Duff. He'd be highly sought after if he entered the portal, and his situation fits the profile of a player who could raise his national profile and NIL earnings with a better team.

Duff's size and speed have the makings of star material, but he needs a better team to realize his full potential.
