Sample has the 2nd-highest catch percentage of any receiver on the team I believe - 75%. 
Only Boyd is higher at 82.4%.


The other receivers:
Tate - 60%
Higgins - 54.5%
Green - 42.4%

If you include the RBs in the mix (I typically don't because they are typically getting receptions with mostly screens and very short routes):
Mixon - 86.7%
Bernard - 80%

With all of that said, you'll typically see a higher catch percentage the shorter the routes you typically run. Those that run the deeper routes tend to have a worse catch percentage.
