Yesterday, I wrote about Mike Evans and how 68 of his 71 receptions were “successful” receptions. Today, I’m going to present that data for all top wide receivers, tight ends, and running backs.
A “successful” reception is one that picked up a first down on 3rd or 4th down, gained 60% of the necessary yards on 2nd down, or 40% of the necessary yards on 3rd down.
As for Bears rookie Tarik Cohen, he had just 40% of his 53 receptions be successful! That was remarkable, but you can view all of his receptions here and see the results for yourself, including seven catches for zero or negative yards.
What stands out to you?
