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.
See what happens when you pass to the Slot, TE and RB's more...
All of Boyd, Sample and Mixon and Gio have great hands.
Thanks for this Ocho, I don't have PFF nor will I get it so I really appreciate it.

That screen to Gio in the Eagles game that went for like 30 yards was an awesome play call and executed to perfection.
Only the Tackles and Hopkins stayed and blocked for Burrow while the Guards and WR's and Gio went out.
It is in the JT O'Sullivan thread about Burrow if you missed it. Made me feel much better about Taylor and Callahan.
BTW, even Price had a great block on this play...
