5 seasons?
Brandon LaFell the very next year had 862 yards as our #2 WR (35th most among WRs)
He didn't repeat it in 2017, but in 2018 Tyler Boyd broke out big. Our #1s health just started failing (which is not the same conversation we're having, if Chase goes down for a year and Tee is shoved into the #1 role, we still had a legitimate #1 and #2 on our roster, injuries just happened).

He had >700 yards for us on a playoff team in 2011, he was 39th among all WRs in receiving yards that year. I consider that a breakout and a quality year for a #2 WR. Even more so considering we weren't throwing the ball nearly 40 times a game like we are now.
