Russell Gage doesn’t seem the type to rest on his laurels, but I think it’s fair to say he’s already a success. A sixth round pick drafted primarily for his special teams value, Gage earned the attention of wide receivers coach Dave Brock and then took the opportunity afforded to him by the Mohamed Sanu trade in 2019 and ran with it, finishing last season with career-best marks in receptions, yards and touchdowns.
In the past decade plus, do you know how many receivers have had even one season with more than 700 yards and were drafted in the sixth round?
