![]() (92%) On-Tgt Catch %, (3.8%) Drop % (one total drop).Ĭhris Godwin: (.47) EPA/tgt on 34 targets. Mike Evans : (.45) EPA/tgt on 39 targets. Keenan Allen: (.45) EPA/tgt on 68 targets. The following stats are when each player faced Cover 0, Cover 1, or Man Cover 2: Whether it’s a lack of an ability to separate, get off the line quick enough, strength, or whatever, there are plenty of receivers who struggle when they are placed on island with a defensive back. Some receivers aren’t productive when they play a defense in man coverage. Using Sports Info Solutions’ Pro Data Hub, let’s take a look at how each receiver fared when facing man coverage in 2019. Evans, though, is definitely behind Allen in this category. But Godwin is still figuring things out when it comes to separation, so Allen may want to dial it down a bit when it comes to comparing separation stats. We know what Evans is in this regard by now and from the looks of it, we know what Allen is, too. Godwin is more of your all-around guy, but was used more over the middle in 2019 and he absolutely flourished. Allen is a monster over the intermediate-middle but can also beat you deep. Evans is a deep threat/red zone target, a guy who can win jump balls and contested catches down the field. Evans and Godwin have primarily played in a vertical system their entire career while Allen’s is mostly West Coast, but more multiple (think Erhardt-Perkins). System and type of player is important context here, as well. Godwin had an incredibly good 2019 season. Evans has averaged 2.2 yards and Godwin has averaged 2.53, but Godwin registered the highest, individual single-season separation mark (2.8 yards in 2019) and has seen his average increase each year. I mean, he specifically mentioned it in his tweet.Īccording to Next Gen Stats, Allen has registered 2.7 yards of separation per catch in each year since 2017, making his average 2.7 yards. ![]() ![]() Let’s start with separation, because that’s what drives Allen’s argument the most. Let’s move past the volume stats and into the good stuff. That almost makes up the difference, but it’s still important to note. However, Allen was drafted in 2013, while Evans was drafted in 2014. Lastly, you have to dig a little to find out that Allen missed 23 games between 2015 & 2016. Godwin is 85th in receptions, 74th in yards, and 70th in touchdowns. Allen is ninth in receptions, 12th in receiving yards, and 21st in touchdowns. Since 2013, Evans is sixth among all receivers in receiving yards, third in touchdowns, and 14th in receptions. Winston certainly had his good moments in the NFL, but Rivers is top-10 in a lot of career passing categories. Evans and Godwin both had Jameis Winston for the majority -the entire career in Godwin’s case- of their careers. ![]() They also don’t tell you that Allen had a potential Hall of Fame quarterback in Philip Rivers every year until 2020 while Evans caught passes from Josh McCown and Mike Glennon his rookie year. 1 receiver his rookie year and Evans was a heavy-utilized No. 3 receiver for the first two years of his career while Allen was the No. Volume stats won’t tell you that Godwin was the No. Volume stats are a good way to start this off, because they should be used (if at all) as more of an introduction than the body of the essay. Keenan Allen : 86 games with 82 starts, 524 receptions for 6,405 yards (12.2 ypc) and 34TDs Mike Evans : 90 games with 89 starts, 462 receptions for 7,260 yards (15.7 ypc) and 48TDsĬhris Godwin : 46 games with 21 starts, 179 receptions for 2,700 yards (15.1 ypc) and 17TDs We’ll use volume stats before we get into the advanced metrics. We’ll leave Hill out because he’s obviously a member of the Kansas City Chiefs and not the Buccaneers. Especially when the players get involved. He just wanted a normal start to the week.Īnyway, these debates are always fun. Oh shit lol Don’t sweat it G, Chris Goodwin ain’t better than me either - Chris Godwin July 27, 2020 ![]()
