Turf Show Times on Terrance Ferguson
From the article
The Rams player who could be L.A.'s most direct path to hitting their next level on offense is second-year tight end Terrance Ferguson... Ferguson was a great athletic tester coming out of Oregon, posting an elite 9.57 RAS... only catching 11 passes as a rookie but averaging 21 yards per reception... nine of those 11 receptions went for either a first down or a touchdown... Ferguson led all qualified tight ends last season with 17.6 air yards per attempt, an average more than six yards per attempt higher than the second-place finisher.
STACKED’s take
Ferguson's elite athleticism and rookie efficiency position him as Rams' breakout TE candidate.
Second-year tight end positioned as the Rams' most direct path to elevating their offense to the next level. Ferguson posted an elite 9.57 RAS at Oregon with rare speed and explosiveness; as a rookie, he caught 11 passes averaging 21 yards per reception with 9 of 11 receptions resulting in first downs or touchdowns. He led all qualified tight ends with 17.6 air yards per attempt, more than six yards higher than second place, despite playing only 39% of snaps and catching just 40% of targets. Head coach Sean McVay said Ferguson is "everything and that much more than I hoped he would be" and believes he'll be "a huge part of what we're gonna do for years to come." Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer noted Ferguson "is now proving to be a guy who can play all over the formation and looks like he could be a force after the catch." The Athletic Football Show named him a second-year X-factor, with co-host Dave Helman calling him "probably your best bet to become basically 'Wide Receiver 3' in that offense." The source argues the Rams will find ways to get him on the field despite depth chart competition.
