Play style
Reliable target who converts on critical downs. Not flashy; consistently productive.
Money down · 3rd-down role
Catch rate says one thing, EPA says another
9 of 19 caught on third down (47.4%) — EPA/target 0.31 vs 0.58 elsewhere (4 conversions).
Catch rate is disclosed context only, never the gate — conversions and EPA/target are. Interception targets carry no attribution row at any source, so EPA/target here is unfixably, slightly inflated.
