NFL.com News on Malachi Corley
From the article
Meanwhile, Cooper has a clear path to becoming the primary slot receiver, and only six quarterbacks have targeted slot receivers more than new Jets QB1 Geno Smith since the start of the 2022 season, per Next Gen Stats.
STACKED’s take
Corley has clear slot path with Smith; compared to Deebo Samuel.
Corley is listed as a top 11 OROY candidate with +4000 odds. The source notes the Jets spent two of their three first-round picks on pass catchers, with Corley selected 30th overall (14 picks after TE Kenyon Sadiq at 16th). Unlike Sadiq, who will share reps with Mason Taylor, Corley has a clear path to becoming the primary slot receiver. The source cites that only six quarterbacks have targeted slot receivers more than new Jets QB Geno Smith since the start of 2022 per Next Gen Stats. Corley is compared to Deebo Samuel and the source expects him to emerge as a favorite for Smith early in their time together, though volume concerns exist given other mouths to feed (Garrett Wilson, Adonai Mitchell, Breece Hall, and tight ends).
