Rookie Wide Receiver Update


Admiral Ackbar

Recommended Posts

Just an update on the rookie wideouts throughout the NFL. Beckham as you know, has came on real strong within the last few weeks, but so has Mike Evans. Our own Benji is still hanging in there but will need to come up big these last 3 weeks to make his case for the OROY. Even if he does not get the award and doesn't catch another ball this season you have to think that he was a great success in his first season and he definitely exceeded my expectations.

 

Here are the Stats:

 

 

RECEPTIONS

 

1. Jarvis Landry               63

2. Odell Beckham            59

2. Kelvin Benjamin       59

4. Sammy Watkins           58

5. Mike Evans                  57

6. Jordan Matthews         56

 

YARDS

 

1. Mike Evans                  935

2. Kelvin Benjamin       848

3. Odell Beckham            829

4. Sammy Watkins           822

5. Jordan Matthews         709

6. Jarvis Landry               573

 

TOUCHDOWNS

 

​1. Mike Evans                  10

2. Kelvin Benjamin         9

3. Martavis Bryant            7

4. Jordan Matthews          7

5. Odell Beckham             6

Yeah the hype train for OBJ is insane whether he deserves it or not.

 

 

Honestly, KB will be a monster I pray, especially if we get someone else on the opposite side/ some protection for Cam. 

But many of his big plays seemed to happen in garbage time for us.  Lastly if he were to catch the EASY balls his stats would be so much greater.

I'd rather see him make the acrobatic catches though, because the easy ones should come with time. The others can't be taught.

He does, there's no debating it. He was the most complete WR in the Draft last year and should have been the first off the board.

Games played would have given a more accurate picture. Games started would have been even better.

    • I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.
    • Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.
    • Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
