From the article

Hunter, Golden, and Higgins all fell between 1.3 and 1.5 YPRR as rookies. That's not good, but it isn't disqualifying either. The bigger issue for all three was a lack of playing time in conjunction with middling efficiency. Their teams have universally sung their praises this offseason, meaning that if they can take a step forward this year, the routes will be there for a true breakout.
