How he plays

Play style

Reliable target who converts on critical downs. Not flashy; consistently productive.

fact

10/163rd-down conversions

1.393rd-down EPA/target

0.51Other-downs EPA/target

11 of 16 caught on third down (68.8%) — EPA/target 1.39 vs 0.51 elsewhere (10 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.
