I know it’s not breaking news or anything but still. This guy is so, so good. Honestly doesn’t even make sense that he wasn’t dominating in college and fell to the 4th just because of his measurables. Super strong hands, elite route runner, understands coverages, durable, amazing run blocker. Just an all around awesome weapon to have.

He’s up to 102.6 YPG now, which ranks 5th in the NFL behind Hill, Jefferson, AJB, and CeeDee. Despite getting more targets per game than he has had in his career, he is also exceeding his career high yards per target (9.4) and yards per reception (12.6). Not sure if there’s much he can do to continue to improve, but if there is, I don’t know how he won’t be a top 5 WR for a while.

    We are so lucky that he and Sewell were drafted at the same time, and drafted during a failing point of this team because the two of them are hell bent on making sure it’s turned around. I never imagined the team could do it this quickly. That ball that he caught just off the ground with his fingertips for the touchdown exemplifies everything that’s great about this guy. He’s our warrior, and thankfully, he’s not the only one.

    Feels like yesterday we were reading about how good he is in rookie mini camp and training camp.

    We’ve come a long way

    If the Lions don’t give him a lifetime contract like Calvin Johnson (sans bonus repayment bullshit) I will be severely disappointed.

    How’s this for a stat: his drop rate is about half what Calvin’s was.

    He had a huge run out of the backfield. I wonder if they’d put him in on defense for hail Marys.
