There’s no denying the New Orleans Saints had struggled to find open receivers aside from Michael Thomas.
Ted Ginn Jr., Tre’Quan Smith and Keith Kirkwood, when they were on the field, just didn’t get the job done. Drew Brees, Teddy Bridgewater or Taysom Hill were left throwing to arguably the league’s best receiver, Michael Thomas.
Thomas racked up an insane 149 receptions, an NFL record. He was the league’s leader last season with 125 and went out and crushed that record. He also totaled the most receiving yards in the league, notching 1,725.
