Like I said in an earlier post, this isn't about raw numbers, it's about creating mismatches outside because you can't dedicate too much help on other guys.
If the Bengals are running a 3 wide set, it's going to be pretty tough to account for those guys plus a legit threat down the middle of the field.
I think you're thinking of 2015, which was his 3rd year. Eifert's rookie year he had 2 TDs in 15 starts.
Eifert his rookie year: 39/445(11.2)/2
Uzomah in 2018: 43/439(10.2)/3
You're either thinking of 2015, or you've remembered Eifert's rookie year as something completely different than what it actually was. Eifert his rookie year had 10 catches for 93 yards on the opponent's half of the field.
