3. WR Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers

Snaps Played: 430
PFF Grade: 72.8
Key Stat: 14.9 yards per reception (led team, 21st in NFL)

Coker is the only offensive player to make this list, as he became a legitimate weapon for the Panthers down the stretch. The playmaker from Holy Cross racked up 478 receiving yards en route to earning a 73.8 PFF receiving grade. His best highlight was an 83-yard touchdown against Dallas. He also displayed a knack for making contested catches, hauling in five of his eight opportunities. We should see Coker continue to develop alongside Bryce Young next season.

Coker is an example on how really knowing how to play the position can compensate for not having gifted athleticism.  That said, I still can't comprehend how he broke away on that long touchdown. Could just be an extra gear he only has going on a straight line.

He has real NFL WR abilities.

There's a reason why so many great receivers have come in mid/late rounds. Scouts and fans will overvalue raw metrics and potential while another guy who actually does the little things right get overlooked because their 40 time doesn't stand out. I'm hoping the success so far we've had with Coker will get our team to look for more guys like him going forward rather than guys like TMJ/Mingo.

I swear some people don't understand this.

Get in the endzone when you're inside the 5. Run past faster DBs when the ball is in the air. Jump over taller players to highpoint the ball. Never get tackled one on one in the open field. 

We used to call it "getting power from the ball." Now that I think about that...

And he did not play the entire season.  (about 10-11 games or so)  Do the math.  His stats would haven been higher if you added 6 games--projecting him to about a 750-800 yard WR.  He was on the field for less than half of the offensive snaps.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
