Kenny Golladay’s name rarely comes up when pundits talk about the best wide receivers in the NFL, but it should — and maybe soon it will.
Golladay made his first Pro Bowl as an alternate last season, when he led the NFL in touchdown catches, and has proven his worth beyond a shadow of a doubt this fall. The Lions are 3-1 with Golladay in the lineup, and 0-2 without him.
Soon, either through the franchise tag or a long-term extension, he will become one of the highest-paid receivers in the league.
And on Wednesday, the 26-year-old’s profile will get another boost when Pepsi debuts a clever holiday advertising campaign built around his likeness.
