Never saw much last year (possibly due to injuries), but wow, he gets better every game. Glue for hands and super fast/quick...

Kind of becoming who we had hoped he would be when he transferred. Been fun to watch.

Such a Skylar Green replica. Awesome.

I dont think he was 100% last year.

he just wasn’t close to this explosive

i’d also love to see more thomas.

He does look so much better this year. Great hands and looks lightning fast when he gets it.

He’s already there! Big 3rd and long there’s nobody on this team I’d rather have getting the ball.

I had thread about this exact same topic last week. He’s leading in most statistical categories too (catches, yards, and ypc I think).

And I think JD just had his favorites and didn't deviate much from Nabers, Thomas and Lacy.

Notice how much more involved Taylor is now that Nuss is starting.

Seems like he got his quick twitch back now after his injury. I was pretty concerned last year because he just didn’t seem to have any suddenness. Now he’s stopping and accelerating on a dime.

If Hilton was healthy all year, AARon probably isn’t getting the reps and targets. Now he looks like WR1. Easily the most improved player on this team.

You might be overthinking that. Taylor is more involved for one reason IMO — there is no Malik Nabers on this team.

Anderson is starting to emerge as 1a, but it’s a very different look on offense this year all around.

Hopefully they have the jugs machine fired up this morning. They definitely all need to work on catching passes.

Thomas plays mean, which is something this team desperately needs.

Anderson is playing predominantly in the slot. Hilton would not be taking reps from him

I really like how he comes back and attacks the ball in the air. His confidence is growing and should feature more in the offense.

Guys, we gotta get off this Hilton hype. Anderson was way better in HS and is way better now.

97.5% of his routes are ran from the slot


Chris Hilton has ran 87% of his career snaps on the outside

Interesting comparison. That open field jab step redirection definitely reminds me of Skylar. Didn't connect that dot until I read this.

This is a GREAT comparison, I kept trying to figure out who he reminded me of……and I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Nice job!

I'd say Zavion Thomas is a better Skylar Green comparison the way he's utilized in the return and run/pass game.

He’s a smaller Jarvis Landry
