WR Tet McMillan as the Saints pick at #9?

Takeways from the 2024 Yards/Game leaders.

The average RBS is slightly higher than the average RBS for the reception leaders. Looking at the list there are some Big X and Big Z WRs, so some bigger bodied guys.

5 of 10 were drafted in the 1st round. This indicates you can get a big play guy later in the draft while your high volume guy, you draft earlier.

The Average 40 Time remained the same at 4.47. 5 of the top 10 were above the 4.47 average, with 4 of them in the 4.5-4.59 range.

These are the bigger guys who get YAC and can break tackles. Their sturdier builds indicated by the higher RBS and on average 4lbs heavier weight than the volume guys for the reception leaders also is evident here.

Another thing that jumps out is the slower 3-cone times in this group compared to the reception leader group, 7.01 compared to 6.91.
