We often look at efficiency numbers for wide receivers that explore how effective they are after the ball comes their way. Drawing targets is a skill in itself, though. To be targeted at a high rate, a receiver must consistently separate from his defender and earn the trust of his quarterback by showing him that he can come down with the pass even if the separation isn’t there.

These were the players who excelled in those areas, drawing targets on the highest percentage of their routes in 2019.

Note: The minimum route threshold used was 25% of the maximum routes run in the group being examined. For example, Curtis Samuel ran more routes than any other wide receiver in 2019, with 647 routes run. The minimum route threshold was set to 25% of 647 (162).

A: Yes, we do! His name is Steven Smith.

Check out his highlight reel again. This young player is legit. I think he's going to be an outstanding player in the slot for years to come. He is one of the reasons that I'm not worried about our receiving corps.

Who the hell is Steven Smith?
