So lets compare those to the weapons the Bengals had in 2020. So equal to AJ Green I guess maybe we can say Tyler Boyd? So who are we goign to say is equal to Marvin Jones? Maybe Tate? I mean can we say Sample is equal to Eiffort or Gresham?
If you look at what the QB had to throw to last year I'm actually shocked Higgins didnt have more than 1,000 yards. The receiving corp was him and Boyd...that's it. Sanu didnt have the numbers Higgins did because of the talent around him and the numbers were spread out.
I read this the other way. If Sanu was surrounded by better talent, then he likely was covered by lesser talent on defense.
In 2014, 3rd year Sanu had 56 receptions on 98 targets (ie, catching 57%)
In 2020, 1st year Higgens caught 67 receptions on 108 targets (ie, catching 62%)
The difference here isn't earth shattering, but I'm inclined to pick the latter stat line as more impressive.
