The type of production he had for a second round rookie WR was absolutely outstanding and things should only get better.

Yup.

I was going to have this in another post that i decided against, so i might as well throw it in here.

Out of 49 qualifiers (50% of max snaps), he placed; (Rookies (7); Tee Higgins, Justin Jefferson, Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, Chase Claypool, Darnell Mooney, Brandon Aiyuk)


27th most targeted (4th among rookies)
36th catch% 63.8 (5th among rookies)
19th qb rating 106.4 (3rd among rookies)
11th(most) in contested catches--tied with JJ, JJSS and Diggs, less than Hopkins and Metcalf (1st (T) among rookies)
42nd contested catch% 34.3 (3rd among rookies)
27th in YAC (4th among rookies)
16th in Y/rec (4th among rookies)
19th in TDs (3rd among rookies)
26th in yards (3rd among rookies)
29th in rec (3rd among rookies)
25th in yards per route run (3rd among rookies)
16th in average depth of target (3rd among rookies)

That comes out to a 24.4 average placement (overall) and 3.2 among the 7 rookies that qualified. A rookie receiver, playing almost half the year with Allen and Finley and he's pretty much "average" among all the rest. 

I'll take it, with room to grow.
