(S3) - PT #5 - Paying the Bills

[Kendrick]

As a possession receiver the job is just to catch the ball. Giving the quarterback a safe route to always throw the ball to. The commitment it takes for this is tremendous because it relies on great route running and the ability to create separation from defensive backs. The job of Mayran Jackson to always provide an outlet for the quarterback and when he is in trouble, Jackson comes back to the ball and gets into open space. Mayran up until this year was a safe bet to score most of the time in every game. This season he has been a third down receiver and largely been the resort the quarterback takes when he is in trouble. The touchdowns din't come so frequently this year but a possession receiver always knows he is in for a big day in regards to targets.

The job of Jackson is to also make guys like Stormblessed and Josh Garden looks bad, which he's been doing for awhile. Jackson is probably one of the underrated wide receivers in the league and it rules his drive to become the best at his position. Mayran is going into a free agency off-season here where it looks like he will be looking to connect with a quarterback with some skill.
