Okay, so I wanted to figure out who the best wide receivers are in the NFL right now. I’ve been watching football for years, but I wanted to go a bit deeper and really rank these guys, not just based on my “gut feeling.”
My Process
First, I started by just watching a bunch of games. Nothing fancy, just good old-fashioned football viewing. I made some mental notes about who seemed to be making the biggest plays, who was consistently getting open, and who was just a beast after the catch.
Then, I decided I needed some actual stats. You know, to back up my eye test. I looked at some total receiving yard. You know, how much they’re catching the ball.
Next, I dug into touchdowns. Obviously, scoring is huge, so I wanted to see who was finding the end zone most often.
I also checked out some stuff about drops. I mean, even the best guys drop passes sometimes, but I figured the fewer drops, the better.
After that, I got a bit more into the details, looking at stats. like average reception yards. It’s kind of a measure of how explosive a receiver is, right? Big plays matter!
Putting it All Together
So, I took all this info—the stats, my game notes, everything—and I started to put together my own rankings. I didn’t use any fancy formulas or anything. I just weighed everything in my head and came up with a list that felt right to me.
It was actually a lot of fun! It made watching the games even more interesting because I was constantly evaluating the receivers, seeing if they were living up to my rankings or if I needed to adjust my list.
