Heading into the last game of the regular season, it’s fair to say it has been an up and down year for rookie receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside. The lows have kept him off the field, while the highs have been tempered by inconsistency. His achievements this year, however minor, are overshadowed when stacked up against other receivers of the 2019 draft class — a class which has been nothing short of incredible.
Even when stacked up against receivers taken in previous draft, JJAW’s first year has been somewhat of a disappointment. Known for his catch radius, contested-catch prowess and red zone efficiency, he has just one touchdown to his name this season.
