Today I wanted to continue the series, looking at NFL WR receiving stats. The Pittsburgh Steelers added WR Ben Skowronek to the practice squad, drafted by the Los Angeles Rams, where he spent the last three seasons.
The stats in this study are from the 2022 season when Skowronek played most. We’ll focus on him and include qualifying Steelers for comparison. The goal is to see how Skowronek stacked up against his NFL peers, and what that could mean for 2024.
Let’s dive in, starting with on target catch percentage (total receptions/number of catchable targets) which highlights the quality of targets and connectivity, along with drop percentage (drops/catchable targets) to see who made the most of their expected catch situations:
Here, Skowronek lands above the mean in both data points.
