How Clutch Was Jairus Wright Last Year? Had 18 Receptions. Guess How Many Third Down Conversions?

[Saca312]

Jairus Wright had 18 receptions in total.

Guess how many were converted to 3rd downs?

13. 13 third down conversions, 2 TDs.

From what Vikings fans are saying, he's the guy to go to when your TE1, WR1, and WR2 are covered, as he'll always work his way on crossing routes and find a way to get open for that clutch 3rd down.

While I do expect him to be more a depth/situational piece, I do like the idea of a reliable possession receiver with some speed on this team.

Wow 18 catches all year. That was worth the money he got, sounds like the Panthers. I think Shepherd might have had a couple catches with TB before he signed here. Man this is so depressing!!!

Diggs calls him Mr.3rd Down.  Not just because of last year....I think Jourdan tweeted about it.  Like 45% of his career production is on 3rd down. 

[WOW!!]

We weren't getting a number 1 wr this year dude.. Reality check.. Get over it.

Wright is the type of add that doesn't generate fan fair, but let a few 3rd down conversions happen this coming Fall and guys will love him. Cotchery wasn't a 'sexy' pick up. However he meant a ton to our offense's ability to sustain drives. 

The fact some are some how unmoved by this signing is a disappointment because they must've forgotten the failures and the missed opportunities the last few seasons.

People should remember how horrible this team has been on 3rd down in the past( and red zone). This isn’t a flashy signing but the guy will keep the chains moving and keep our offense on the field

This should make you feel better

The fact that people are excited about Torrey Smith and discouraged by Jarius Wright is really all you need to know about the football IQ of most the posters here.

You said you weren't going to do this!

Thing is, will Cam find him, or lock into Funchess/Olsen or McCaffrey?

Hey at least I care about what this team is going after. Y'all praise everything this ownership does and it never works.
