Finding That Third Year “Breakout” Receiver Has Been Difficult For the St. Louis Rams

Torry Holt did it. Vincent Jackson did it. What third year Rams’ receiver can eclipse 1,000 yards?

You’ve probably heard it before..."Player X is due to have a breakout, Vincent Jackson-like, third year as a receiver in the NFL." Jackson, drafted by the Chargers in 2005, only played half the season in his rookie year, but eclipsed 1,000 yards [with 7 touchdowns] in his third full season in the league. And he’s proven the ability to maintain similar, if not better, stats since [with the exception of an injured year in 2010, and a quiet 2014 season].
