Every time I see a helmet stripe stuck on, I think of Mike Pagel’s helmet stripe curling up on the back in the 88 season.

This is disappointing to see.
He's a great blocker though so this is just fine.This is disappointing to see.
It’s a good question, idk the answer.I’d be curious to know if he’s generating separation. Is that tracked if they aren’t being targeted? That might be a bit subjective but I would still be curious
In addition to the fake, the speed in which Baker gets the ball to Hooper is fantastic.As if any of us needed a reminder, Kevin Stefanski is very good at this. Also, the way Mayfield sells PA in the second play is *chef's kiss*
I love questions like this--it shows you're actually looking to understand what's occurring instead of relying on some stats that don't tell the whole picture.I’d be curious to know if he’s generating separation.

I mean, it wouldn’t be surprising if that’s the case; I’m sure he’s lacking in generating separation if/when he’s running routes that require a heavy amount of footwork. I take absolutely no issue with DPJ being a limited player; for what he’s offering at this point that’s still fantastic value for where he was selected in the draft.I love questions like this--it shows you're actually looking to understand what's occurring instead of relying on some stats that don't tell the whole picture.
Matt Harmon's Reception Perception is the best resource I've found for tracking this sort of thing--but you have to pay for it and 2021 data isn't out yet.
One thing about DPJ--I'd bet his separation numbers aren't very good. He's a big guy who doesn't really need to shake a DB in order to be open. I still think his best routes are down the sideline where it's just him and a corner for a long contested catch--or a quick slant where he uses his frame to box out the DB like we saw on that fourth down in week 1.
Give me a receiver who excels in a limited role and blocks as well as he does and that's a guy that every team would love to have.
