STACKED’s take
Harrison Jr.'s efficiency metrics lag Wilson and McBride; contested target rate doubled league average.
Tommy Jaggi's film review shows Harrison Jr. running rounded routes lacking suddenness, not running hard when not the primary read, creating little separation on the outside, and doing best work only on deep in-breaking routes. Data confirms the concern: 18.6% target rate on the perimeter vs. Michael Wilson's 62.8%; 50.0% catch rate vs. Wilson's 66.7%; 1.82 yards per route run vs. Wilson's 3.88. At 44.4% contested target rate (more than double league average) and 17.8-yard aDOT, Harrison has just nine targets in three games. Trey McBride has generated half as many first downs from the same alignment, and Harrison has the only drop. His inability to create separation shows up through the numbers.
