Dolphins OC says Ajayi is much improved in receiving
On Saturday, Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen said running back Jay Ajai’s receiving skills are “200 percent” better than this time last year.
The Dolphins running back ranked third at his position in overall grade (84.9) and led the NFL in PFF’s elusive rating metric (76.0).
Ajayi dropped two passes on 29 catchable targets for a drop rate of 6.9 percent, 30th of 42 RBs. Teammate Damien Williams was tied for first in the NFL, dropping zero of 23 catchable targets.
While Ajayi led the NFL in forced missed tackles (63), only five came in the receiving game, good for just 29th in the NFL.
