No. A hypothesis that randomly predicts something based upon flawed criteria and poorly related examples is a fluke not a legitimate correlation.Sorry, that's just wrong. If a hypothesis predicts well it doesn't matter what it didn't consider.
A more reasonable criticism of my feeble attempt would be to say I haven't established career performance criteria let alone showed that preseason reception yards is a good predictor of it.
If I were to continue this effort I would likely use something like Prof Football Reference's career "Average Value" measure to quantify performance and see if it can be predicted from preseason data about WR's (or QB's etc).
But I'm not going to bother because I doubt anyone is interested.
