Evans has gone over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first nine seasons, and he admits he’d love to do it twice more, tying Jerry Rice’s all-time record.
“I think about it ,” Evans said in an ...
Touchdown passes

, 2023
So I looked at the history of teams throwing less than 15 touchdown passes since 2002 -- the start of the 32-team era...
Jacksonville Jaguars

, 2023
In the 32-team era, only 23 teams (about one per year) have improved by over 200 points, and they’re shown below. The Jaguars scored 151 more points, while also allowing 107 fewer...
George Pickens
29 Jun
, 2023
One that leaps out is touchdowns: Pickens caught 5, Johnson didn't catch any. But what was especially remarkable was that Pickens' 801 yards came on just 84 targets...
Sophomore QBs

, 2023
In the case of Ridder, a third-round pick a year ago, the Falcons have used top-10 picks the last three years on skill-position guys: Kyle Pitts, Drake London, Bijan Robinson...
Sophomore Slump? (Wide receivers)
27 Jun
, 2023
With running backs, the numbers were inconclusive. About half of the solid rookies put up similar or better numbers in Year 2, about half declined by a decent amount...

The Texans ranked next-to-last in rushing last year, down at 87 yards per game. They also scored only 7 rushing touchdowns all year (also next-to-last)...
Sophomore Slump?
26 Jun
, 2023
There's no definitive threshold for what constitutes rookie year success, but I went with running backs who rushed for over 800 yards in their first seasons...
Zach Charbonnet

I don’t believe the selection of Charbonnet is an indictment of Walker. Instead, I think they’re just looking to bolster the position...
Alabama running backs
24 Jun
, 2023
Gibbs ran a 4.36 at the combine, and teams are always going to want to get that kind of speed on the field. He's a little undersized (5-9, 199), so it makes sense for Detroit to also use Montgomery...
Slower running backs

, 2023
It might not. For this table, I took a look at all the running backs drafted in the first three rounds the last 10 years...
A.J. Brown
20 Jun
, 2023
Consider yards per target. That is, not yards gained on catches, but average yards gained on pass plays (including incompletions)...
Geno Smith

, 2023
In DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks have a great one-two punch of wide receivers, and it’s looking like they’ll have a quality third option sooner rather than later...
Late-round quarterbacks
18 Jun
, 2023
Purdy, famously, was Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 Draft, and nearly led the 49ers to the Super Bowl. He got hurt early on in the NFC Championship Game, or who knows...
Kenneth Walker

Preseason talk from coaches (especially Pete Carroll) is often meaningless, so we won't have a great idea of what to expect until the season begins...
