The numbers indicate just how extraordinary Jordan Reed’s performance in 2015 was. He caught 87 passes for 952 yards, both the most in a single season by a Washington Redskins tight end. He led the team with 11 touchdowns, which made him the first tight end in team history to lead the Redskins in all three categories since Jean Fugett in 1977.
The Redskins‘ offense funneled through Reed last season. From Week 7 when quarterback Kirk Cousins led the team back from a 24-0 deficit against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, to the end of the regular season, Reed hauled in 52 of his 63 targets — the highest catch percentage of any tight end.
