Over the past two seasons, wide receiver Jalen Guyton has done his best to fulfill his role as a deep-threat wideout with potential to take the top off the defense. During the 2020 season, he averaged a notable 18.3 yards per reception and played a key role in kickstarting the hype that would continue to grow and flourish around then-rookie quarterback Justin Herbert.
In their second year together, Herbert and Guyton combined to produce similar stats in terms of yardage (511 vs. 448) and touchdowns (three both years), but the latter’s yards per reception average dropped to 14.
