FBI moves fast to interview Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski. With an injured Cam Newton, then Kyle Allen throwing the highest rate of turnover-worthy passes in the league and now Teddy Bridgewater playing solidly but not spectacularly, he hasn’t had much to help him in the way of quarterback play, yet Moore just continues to produce.
Julio Jones is inactive for Atlanta’s game against the Carolina Panthers, leaving the Falcons without their top wide receiver for the second game in …
In 2019, Thomas had a higher target rate (18.3%) on vertical routes than Stefon Diggs and Tyreek Hill and has easily the best catch rate of any major receiver on deep targets.
The vertical threat of his speed affects the defense every snap he is on the field, not just on the plays he is targeted, and that continues to be true even without Hopkins on the field.
Click to Read More Jackson is quickly establishing himself as one of the Cincinnati Bengals' best defensive players after passing one of the toughest tests out there for an NFL cornerback: shutting down Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Thompson's speed also makes him a dangerous weapon for Houston on special teams. But who are the fastest players with the ball in their hands? Godwin is also able to line up all over the offense, making him a threat from any alignment. Coleman scored eight times on 118 attempts in 2016, and in 2017, he's seeing more opportunities. He was an effective receiver running go-routes from Day 1 thanks largely due to the partnership with Russell Wilson, the best deep-ball thrower in the league, but 2020 has seen him add versatility to his arsenal of skills. Metcalf has five scores in five weeks and has cost himself at least two more, with that drop and the infamous goal-line fumble when he torched rookie cornerback Trevon Diggs only to let him recover and punch it out at the end of the play. Coleman owns two of the 15 fastest plays in the NFL this season.
And that's just the running backs. Since the start of the 2018 season, throwing the ball Lockett’s way has resulted in a passer rating of 146.1 for Russell Wilson, and Lockett has a PFF receiving grade of 86.0 over that time. We’ve just got to go out there and play for one another.
In fact, Adams has featured in all sixteen games in a season only twice out of seven NFL campaigns. Evans is an exceptional vertical threat who has ranked in the top five in yards on deep targets (20-plus air yards) in each of the past two seasons and ranks in the top 10 this season despite being hobbled by injury.
The Vikings need to focus on evaluating and developing young players for the rest of the year.
We have yet to see the full potential of the Tom Brady to Mike Evans connection, but the veteran signal-caller has tried to find Evans often despite the wideout clearly being hampered physically, which bodes well for their outlook over the remainder of the season.
Ridley has gone over 100 yards in each of the other four games, including two multi-touchdown performances. Calvin Ridley’s route running was too good for the college level at Alabama, and we’re seeing that it ties defenders in knots at the NFL level, as well.
Given the fact that he is a former track and field Olympian, it's no surprise that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was able to reach a speed of 21.68 mph in 2017. The question was whether he could back that up this season or whether it was just a fluke. All top speeds are courtesy of NFL Next Gen Stats and current through Week 12. The Vikings can also get a good look at Jordan Brailford, who they added from the WFT practice squad.
“It was very important for us, as an organization and just for everything about us,” Jones said. Thompson reached 21.19 mph on a play in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs when he caught a shovel pass from Deshaun Watson and took it 19 yards before running out of bounds. The modern-day NFL and its players can be characterized by one word above all else: fast. His departure sent Derek Carr into a funk that he is only just clawing his way out of, and Dak Prescott’s numbers are night-and-day when Cooper is on the field. TOP STORIES
1 wide receiver in the NFL and it wasn't close.
In the 1987 NFL combine, the average 40-yard dash time among running backs was 4.64 seconds. The speedy defender also nabbed another highly sought achievement for a cornerback in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, coming away with a rare Aaron Rodgers interception. Now, Cleveland Browns cornerback Jason McCourty might take exception to that last statement, but the truth is of all the players on this list, McCourty has been in the league the longest. The Vikings' corners also have to worry about Calvin Ridley, the breakout star who is fifth in the league with 485 receiving yards this year, despite having one game without a single catch. Taylor's speed allows him to be a yards-after-catch machine; he's averaging more than 15 yards per reception in 2017. That versatility should continue to make him a dangerous option for Mariota in 2017 and beyond. In 2017, Jones reached a top speed of 21.13 mph when he took a Matt Ryan pass 53 yards against the New York Jets in Week 8.
Despite this, he continues to produce like a top-10 wide receiver. But these types of games just in general are the types of games that you want. "He’s sudden and catches the ball great, really can get out of the cuts, changes speeds at the beginning of the routes, at the top of the route.
Another player with a case as the best route-runner in football, Keenan Allen is a technician who is dealing with life sans Philip Rivers throwing him the football for the first time in his NFL career.
Last season he had a PFF grade of 82.2 despite the drag of that quarterback play, and this year he has remained productive with a new passer. Yet another rookie on this list continues to illustrate how much faster the players coming out of college are today.

"I think Julio is special because he's somewhat of a combination of Michael Thomas with the deep threat ability of somebody like Tyreek Hill," said ESPN analyst Dominque Foxworth.
With those opportunities has come the chance to show off his blistering speed. Jones' combination of size and speed is what makes him unique and hard to defend.
PFF's exclusive metrics provide matchup previews, position rankings, grades, and snap counts. The Bills wideout ranks fourth in the league in targets (50) — more than halfway to his 2019 total in Minnesota that featured two playoff appearances. 5 overall.
"Been watching Julio for years," Gladney said. Beathard for a 55-yard completion against the Arizona Cardinals. That speed allows Goodwin to rack up huge yards-per-reception numbers; he led the league with 21.4 yards per reception heading into Week 13. Fournette broke away for a 90-yard touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, demonstrating with each step why the Jaguars selected him with the No. "Jones got more than half of the first-place votes. It’s a great spot to be in.”.
Through five weeks with his new squad, his wishes are being fulfilled.
If Jones can run for more than 21 mph when he's limited, he could eventually own the top speed mark in the league when fully healthy. He leads the league in targets this year (56) and has 17 more contested targets than any other receiver since the start of last season.
Editor's Note: Click here to get an updated list of the fastest players in the NFL right now! He just sees fewer of them. So far, he’s repeating the performance and looks to have truly developed beyond what his early seasons were. Adam Thielen is an exceptional technician at the position and shows just how good a receiver can be without having any extraordinary physical traits. Though the 49ers haven't been anything to write home about in 2017, Goodwin has been a bright spot, setting a career high in receiving yards. The problem is, they don't often get to show off their straight-line speed until they've found themselves with a ball in their hands.
Chris Godwin was exceptionally productive last year with Jameis Winston at quarterback, but injuries have largely denied us of seeing whether he can repeat that output with Tom Brady. Since the start of the 2019 season, just 4.9% of his targets have been contested, which speaks to the degree of separation he is able to generate on a consistent basis. Will Fuller is a player whose impact is felt deeper than his production alone. Jackson returned the pass 75 yards for a score, reaching a top speed of 21.52 mph in the process.

That being said, you could make a strong argument that he is the single best route-runner in the game.

Hurst, who began his career in Baltimore, compared watching Jones in person with being on the field with Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. His intelligence and ability to exploit the hesitation induced by the play action, motion and route combinations are second to none, and it has led to him being extremely productive during his time with the Rams.

No receiver has done more with less help than Robinson.
At his best, Beckham is a top-10 receiver and then some, but we’re still waiting for that guy to consistently be there every week. 2020 has not been kind to elite receivers in terms of injuries, and Julio Jones is one such player who has missed time. Drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2013, Goodwin entered free agency at the expiration of his rookie contract in spring 2017 and signed with San Francisco.
