PFF ranks Marqise Lee league’s best receiver on crossing routes

Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee has been often maligned among Jags fans, especially on Twitter, for his perceived lacked of consistency. According to Pro Football Focus, however, when it comes to at least one of the many routes in the playbook nobody does it better than number eleven.

The analytics website ranked Lee as their number one receiver when it came to efficiency on crossing routes in 2017. According to the site’s analyst, Mark Chichester, Lee was so far ahead of the pack, it wasn’t a very close race.

The fourth-year wide receiver became Jaguars QB Blake Bortles favorite target last season and saw 91 targets throughout the campaign – 18 more than the next closest receiver.
