Tee is infinitely closer to Boyd than Jefferson is to Tee. Jefferson in 10 games and catching passes from Joshua Dobbs and Nick Mullins nearly broke Tee's career high in yards that he set in 2021 and has decreased each year since.
One is arguably the best WR in the NFL who was hurt for the first time in his career, the other is a guy who may be a #1, but may not be and is more of a top-30 guy who gets banged up every single year.
Jefferson in 10 games in 2023: 4 games of 150+ yards
Tee in 58 career games: 1 game of 150+ yards
Jefferson had more yards in 2022 than Tee did in 2022 and 2023 combined.
One is a OPoY who finished top-5 in MVP voting, the other has never even made it to the Pro Bowl.
See you’re missing the point. People are holding last year against tee, yet give almost everyone else a pass. NO one is comparing Tee to Jefferson, everyone knows Jefferson is better. But no one on the board is saying that Jefferson is a sub 1,000 yard guy bc he didn’t get there last year. Yet folks on this board think Tee is closer to a 500 yard guy than a 1,100 yard guy. Tee isn’t a top 30 guy, he is a top 20 guy. That’s not really opinion, it’s based on almost any metric you can pull from 2020-2023.
The anti Tee crowd is getting obnoxious. He is not easily replaceable. Tee Higgins is closer to AJ Green than Tyler Boyd. Don’t believe me, go look at AJ Greens prime, and look at the years he gets 120 targets or less (Tee volume).
