Few rookie wideouts in recent memory have turned out initial performances like that of CeeDee Lamb’s. Some of his fellow Class of 2020 draftees like Justin Jefferson and Chase Claypool posted phenomenal showings in their first go-round at the pro level, but don’t be fooled, finding greenhorn talent that can produce with the immediacy that Lamb did is a rare accomplishment to be treasured.
What he did in the 2020-21 season was nothing short of fantastic: 74 receptions, 935 yards, 46 first downs and five catching TDs; a stat-line even management couldn’t have assuredly foreseen when they snatched him up with their 17th overall selection in last year’s draft.
