Rookie tight ends

14 Jul , 2023
For this one, I’m going to focus on the second and third rounds. So let’s put Dalton Kincaid to the side; when a tight end is selected in the first round – like Kyle Pitts or T.J...

Alexander Mattison

10 Jul , 2023
Mattison doesn’t have the same kind of speed or elusiveness. In each of the last three years, he’s averaged at least a half yard less per carry than Cook...

Efficient receivers

2 Jul , 2023
Treylon Burks, Rashid Shaheed, Darius Slayton and Terrace Marshall also fit this profile. None caught a ton of passes last year, but they mixed in a healthy number of impact plays...

Garrett Wilson

2 Jul , 2023
Rodgers is 39 years old, but it's debatable whether he's lost much. He's just a year removed from an MVP season. New York, meanwhile, had to do something...

Mike Evans

1 Jul , 2023
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

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
