Running backs.
I guess technically we’re not just looking at running backs (full backs have made their way onto this list as well), but it’s those guys in the offensive backfield who provide the inspiration for piece No. 3.
So we’ve taken all running backs from 2010 who had at least 25 catchable balls thrown their way (including post season), and done our usual to it. Used their number of catchable balls (receptions plus drops) and divided it by the numbers of drops they had to give us their drop percentage.
Blitz pick-up and what you do with the ball in hand, are equally important, but when you consider that teams usually generate around 15% of their passing yardage with their backs (a number different for different teams), you can’t contribute to that chunk without catching the ball.
Felix has one drop in 74 tries
