2020 Vision: SEC StatCat's Top5 Best Intermediate Targets
Let’s take a quick trip to the hardwood for a momentary aside. Some of the most successful offense have gone all in on maximizing value per opportunity. Ie) Only shooting 3 pointers, dunks, layups, and free throws. Midrangers are thought of as inefficient dinosaurs who don’t quite fit today’s style of play. To steer it back to football, the same phenomenon is occurring with pass concepts. With more emphasis on short RPOs, Screens or underneath routes paired with vertical shots, the intermediate game isn’t as prevalent as it once was. Though maybe less bang for buck, there is certainly value in finding success ten to 19 yards downfield. So based off last year’s production, which SEC pass catchers stand to be the most efficient intermediate targets entering 2020?
