Harry is way too slow. How many starting WRs do you know can't even average 10 yards per catch ? Total rookies like DeeDee Lamb just put up 60 yards yesterday.....
Did you know that was a supremely cold take when you posted it and hoped that nobody would call you out on it? You felt that it was legitimate to ignore Harry's 13 and 14 ypc averages his last two years at AZ State and, instead, cherry picked a stat based upon 8 NFL games? Ok, I'll play along.
1. Play calling plays a big role in a player's YPC - both the offensive system in general and the plays which are called for that specific player. How many routes was he asked to run that were over 15 yards?
2.
This beautiful diving catch 20 secs into the video was called back by a penalty. It would have been a 33 yd completion and that single catch would have boosted his ypc for the season to 10.6. This is why medical studies which do not include an adequate number of patients (referred to as the "Power" of the study) are not considered to be valid. The same holds true for your Harry ypc stat. We are talking statistics 101 here - you are unfortunately thinking on a Quincy Jr. College level.
3. Finally, here are some star WRs who averaged fewer than 10 ypc for a full season during their careers (I'm sure that there are many more but I wasn't going to waste more than a few minutes researching the topic - these are players who immediately came to mind).
HINES WARD
WES WELKER (twice)
JULIAN EDELMAN
JARVIS LANDRY (twice)
DAVANTE ADAMS
LARRY FITZGERALD
In summary, please don't waste our time with similar stupidity in the future.
