Suddenly the dude has 97 catches for 1,750 yards.
That's CeeDee Lamb's production on forty fewer targets.
There just weren't many guys as efficient as Brandon Aiyuk last season. Nico Collins as there. Cooper was close. Had Justin Jefferson stayed healthy he probably would've been.
I mean there's just nothing not to like about the kid under the hood. He doesn't have blazing deep speed but apart from that, he was a genuine stud last year.
