Pukas ADOT was 9.1
Addison 12.5
Flowers 8.4
Rashee Rice's ADOT was 4.8, almost half of the next lowest on that list. They were used as real wide receivers. Rice was used as a gadget guy. He was a maximized Mecole Hardman. To win in the playoffs, Reid has to draw up better plays for him. The talent is there.
