From the article
McConkey busted as a sophomore after an excellent rookie season... Herbert's catchable ball percentage on McConkey targets dropped from 78% to 67%... His contested catch rate dropped from 57% to 3-of-14. He picked up less yards after the catch per reception.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalBust
McConkey's sophomore regression was real: 78% to 67% catchable rate, 57% to 21% contested catch rate.
McConkey's sophomore collapse was multifaceted: Justin Herbert's catchable ball percentage on McConkey targets dropped from 78% to 67% despite same screen volume; all per-target stats dropped significantly. Chargers used him differently with downfield routes dropping 5% in favor of underneath work. McConkey himself regressed: contested catch rate fell from 57% to 3-of-14, yards after catch per reception declined, and he didn't earn targets at the same rate on slot or outside reps. The emerging superstar from late rookie season wasn't there.
