Factoid
Eric Ebron / Pat Freiermuth
7 May
, 2021
Probably not in 2021, with the team still having Eric Ebron at the position, and with tight end being a notoriously difficult position for rookies to contribute right away...
Dropped passes
6 May
, 2021
When you look at dropped passes and running backs, the Eagles have the running backs at both ends of the spectrum.
There were 40 running backs last year who had at least 25 catchable passes thrown...
49ers running backs
4 May
, 2021
They traded up in the third round to select Trey Sermon. I would think some will believe he’ll be their best running back...
Miami Dolphins
3 May
, 2021
Tua Tagovailoa was underwhelming as a rookie, passing for fewer than 170 yards in five of his nine starts...
Denver Broncos
2 May
, 2021
Coaches matter, and on that side of the ball, they’ve got one of the best. Vic Fangio knows how to put together a solid defense. In each of the last two years, Denver has ranked No...
Elijah Moore / Kadarius Toney
2 May
, 2021
Toney going that early was a surprise to some, but after the draft Urban Meyer expressed regret that he wasn't available to Jacksonville five picks later...
Running but not catching
26 Apr
, 2021
James White is their third-down type guy right now, and he caught 77 passes two years ago. He’s great in that role...
Tight end combos
25 Apr
, 2021
It was the use of double tight ends (I think) that was one of Belichick’s first big contributions as a coach...
Jared Goff
24 Apr
, 2021
I’m not sure who the Lions will be trotting out at wide receiver. They’ll probably draft one in the first three rounds. Maybe they get some starts out of Tyrell Williams and Breshad Perriman...
Second-year receivers
23 Apr
, 2021
Consider the following chart. It shows the 35 rookie wide receivers in the last 20 years who’ve finished with top 40 numbers (PPR scoring) but who hasn’t ranked in the top 20...
Wayne Gallman
22 Apr
, 2021
Gallman, a former fourth-round pick, didn’t reach his full potential with the Giants, but they didn’t give him too many chances to play. When he got on the field, he was able to do some good things...
Stefon Diggs
21 Apr
, 2021
Some of the numbers are almost hard to believe. Diggs led the league in both catches and receiving yards. He caught 31 percent of his team’s passes, the highest work-share number in the league...
Travis Etienne
21 Apr
, 2021
All three can be considered at least potential three-down backs...
Bryce Love
19 Apr
, 2021
At Stanford, Love for a while looked like a similar player to Christian McCaffrey...
JuJu Smith-Schuster
18 Apr
, 2021
That’s never happened before with a trio of wide receivers. They’re all good, but here’s a balance between them...
