Jordan Whittington, meanwhile, is already in place and a perfectly suitable option as the No. 3 wide receiver...his 62% career success rate...and the 41% of his targets that become first downs or touchdowns

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Whittington's blocking and 62% success rate make him a natural fit as the Rams' WR3.

Whittington is positioned as a perfectly suitable option as the Rams' No. 3 wide receiver given his strong blocking (vital to the offense's success) and solid pass-catching ability; he owns a 62% career success rate and 41% of his targets convert to first downs or touchdowns (all first downs in his case), which is just shy of Stefon Diggs' career rate and above Deebo Samuel's. While he isn't a superstar given the elite receivers ahead of him, his tangible and intangible traits make him a natural fit for the role and reduce the urgency for the Rams to add another receiver.
