Braxton Berrios has become a household name for New York Jets fans this year. He’s started four games at slot receiver and he’s led the team in targets in three games.
As the backup slot receiver, Berrios has been a big part of Adam Gase‘s offense with Jamison Crowder dealing with injury issues, and that’s a problem. Berrios wouldn’t be seeing the field for any other NFL team.
Is his role really because of the talent deficit this team faces? Berrios has played games with Breshad Perriman and Denzel Mims and still seen the most targets, so it’s not likely.
