“Can’t get open as a pure WR” lol
I’m about 2 minutes into this highlight reel and I’ve already seen a couple slants, couple deep ins, couple comebacks, couple deep balls, a flag route, a simple screen, a swing pass and a handoff. AND THE VIDEO IS STILL JUST IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON.
I think the mistake people make in this situation is assuming that because his best work is done after the catch, he isn’t good before the catch. That simply isn’t true.
The truth is, when you have a RAC monster like Deebo, you want to get the ball in his hands as quickly as possible. Same concept we employed last year with Rashee. Same reason Tyreek Hill’s average depth of target is shorter than Aiyuk’s.
Even more on that, Deebo averages 9.7 yards per reception AFTER THE CATCH. On average, this ****er is going to give you a 1st down in just RAC every time he catches the ball. I don’t think people understand how incredible that is. Tyreek’s last year in KC, he averaged 11 yards per catch total. Even elite pass catching RBs like CMC and Jamaal Charles don’t average 10 yards of RAC per reception.
