Three Years of Drop Rate: Wide Receivers

Poor Larry Squandering his best years on the Cardinals.
Roddy White is a dropping machine, almost always #1 in the NFCS.
Jabar Gaffney was a surprise for me.

Since we’re looking at which players have dropped the most ‘catchable balls’ it’s probably worth looking a little bit at those balls we deemed catchable. Firstly, it’s a simple enough way to determine a catchable ball: it’s a pass that is either caught or dropped. Got it? Good. Let’s move on. It won’t surprise many that the man who was thrown the most catchable balls over the past three years was the Patriots’ Wes Welker. His 363 catchable balls was 33 more than Roddy White in second, and 60 more than Brandon Marshall in third. It says something about the quality of quarterback Larry Fitzgerald has had to deal with over the past two years, with Fitzgerald second in total targets, but way down in fifth when you look at the number of those that were catchable.
