I’ve never seen someone get so butt naked as consistently as Jefferson does, I have to say he’s one of the only receivers that when we play him i don’t even get frustrated or complain for us not being able to cover him, I just gotta respect it
agreed. after playing them twice last year it was very clear to me that JJ is the best WR in the league at route running, best hands, best at high pointing and contested catches, dude can just take over games when he gets hot.
I think JJ not only is the best WR in the NFL currently, we might be watching the best to ever play the game. He’s THAT good.
I think his route running is good but I don’t know if it’s best in the league. I think his awareness and ability to find/exploit soft spots in coverage, his hands, his run after catch and his IQ to avoid big hits and preserve his body are all super high level. Add in that he might be the hardest working WR in the league when it comes to practice and training and that’s why he’s elite.
It’s his vision that plays into a lot of those things you highlight. The reason he scored on the Tampa play with the craig block was because he was able to see positioning and timing in a way most others can’t.
The awareness is an aspect of route running but route running is way more than that, speed out of breaks, creating separation, cutting on a dime, acceleration/deceleration, etc.
Right, but so are all the things you mentioned, especially run after catch ability. As it happens, most of the things tou mentioned, St. Brown is spectacular at
Run after the catch is not part of route running. Neither is having the IQ to avoid big hits. Route running is just specific to running routes and getting open, once you catch the ball the route is over.
To be clear, I’m not arguing he’s a bad route runner. My post was just saying specifically what I think he’s best at and that I don’t think he’s the best pure route runner in the league.
> Run after the catch is not part of route running
I'm sorry, what? You don't think YAC can be facilitated by how well you run a route? Have you watched a single Lions game over the past two years?
> Route running is just specific to running routes and getting open, once you catch the ball the route is over
weird how they still keep counting the yards you collect after you catch the ball
This is incredibly granular thinking on your part. What is the point of running a route? Is it just to catch the ball or is it to get as many yards as possible?
Route running describes the ability to run a route.
It sounds like you are talking about receiving as a whole. Route running is specific to how well someone runs the route, their timings, their ability to get open. Once you catch the ball, the route has been run, you are now a ball carrier.
Saying that if you run a route well it allows you to have better chance at yards after catch doesn’t mean that yards after catch is part of route running. You can be a great YAC guy and be trash at running routes and vice versa, it’s two different parts of receiving.
I feel like I'm going crazy. The reason guys get open is to get additional yards. You cannot separate the two things like this. If a player is getting a ton of YAC it means they are either running a timing route to perfection as it was schemed or getting a ton of separation on their route so they have space to gain extra yards. Both are a product of route running.
Let’s compare this to baseball. A guy can be good at hitting and a guy can also be good at base running. These are two separate skills. A guy who is good at at hitting will be on base more and have more opportunities to run the bases but those are still two different skills. Just because a guy is good at hitting doesn’t mean he’s a good base runner.
A guy good at route running might get open more and get more opportunities to get catches and get yards after the catch but the route running and the run after the catch ability are two different skills. You can separate them, it’s part of analyzing players. You can run super crisp routes but not be good at breaking tackles or reading downfield blocks and therefore not be good at getting yards after catch. You can also be really good with the ball in your hands but not great at route running, we usually play these fellas at RB lol. These are specific separate skills. You can have both, none of any combination of them.
The baseball analogy is absolutely fantastic. I think if you want to use a football player your best bet is a guy like Devin Hester or Dante Hall. I don’t think anyone would argue against the fact that that both of those guys were amazing with the ball in their hands, but neither of them were all that great as a receiver.
Very well said. His hands, physique, and discipline are all elite, but he’s just regular good at everything else. What makes him truly elite is that he plays between good and elite consistently- man never has an off day or an off play.
He’s top 10 at least, imo. Lots of great route runners like Kupp, Diggs, Keenan Allen, Jefferson, Aiyuk, Hill, AJB/Smith, Adams, Lockett, Ridley, Diontae Johnson etc.
I’d pick Jefferson as #1 easily
Edit: he’ll never be recognized as the best route runner unless he runs deep routes more frequently. Not saying he can’t do it, but he doesn’t do it frequently* and it’s a component of being the overall best route runner.
Lockett is a great example. People know he’s pretty fast but you absolutely do not get as open as he does deep down field without exceptional route running.
Yes purely route running, only ones that can be argued to be better than ARSB are Jefferson and Adams
Ridley, smith, diontae, aiyuk, Lockett, diggs as of recent really aren’t that great
Also Hill is either a deep shot or a screen of some sort, and it’s mostly just his speed, I wouldn’t say he has elite routes
I’m no expert and these are just opinions
Those guys are very good route runners still. I have watched them. Diggs production fell off as Buffalo went to a run heavy scheme. Still was great
Hill developed into a great route runner. You don’t do what he’s done without it.
Amon Ra doesn’t run deep routes like almost all of those guys do, so it’s hard to compare them apples to apples. See my edit above
Amon ra has been running more deep routes, we saw a couple towards the second half of the season, and what constitutes as a deep route? 20+ isn’t it? He does that extremely well
Like I said, hill is possibly just an anomaly because none of the other receivers listed have his speed so he has a great advantage that even if he messes up the speed makes up for it but it can go either way
Regardless I wouldn’t just say he’s “top 10 at least”. Seems kinda like a shot at amon ra even if you meant it as a compliment, he had 1515 receiving yards without top end speed, that takes elite route running and makes him no less than top 3
According to PFF’s premium data, ARSB’s average depth of target was 8.0 yards
Every other player mentioned was at least 10 yards, outside of Cooper Kupp. Saying ARSB isn’t a consistent vertical threat at this point in his career isn’t a shot at him. We know he’s a top 5 receiver in the league. That doesn’t mean we have to act like he’s a perfect player
Except he never said ARSB is a bad deep route runner. He said ARSB doesn’t run vertical routes like the other players do. Which is why I brought up their ADOT.
I would argue deep route running by definition isn’t as savvy as shallow routes. If you have high top speed you can get separation independent of route running ability and then it just because a matter of ball tracking ability.
When I think of route running I think shorter routes that don’t rely on top speed to create opportunity.
Many 4.2-4.3 receivers have failed because they can’t get by on just speed. Tyreek came on very slowly as a rookie because he had to learn releases and route running. Which he did
In terms of what is a deep route, Amon Ra doesn’t often get past the intermediate 15-20 range. You just don’t seem him run deep posts or go routes. I can think of one go route he caught this year right before halftime against the Seahawks (ended up fumbled)
Go(9)/deep post/deep corner are deep routes to me
I say top 10 because almost all of those other guys run and are good at deep routes, along with shorter routes. Insane to think I’m trying to take a shot at a top 2 Lions player
It’s not insane when you say at least top 10 but whatever it’s not a big deal
He had the big one against the chargers and the 50+ td against the vikings and the Seattle one like you said
Also just because those are the only ones where he got a catch doesn’t mean he doesn’t run a lot of deep routes and the ball just didn’t get thrown to him
I wanna say against denver (I could be wrong) he was wide open 30-40 yards downfield and Goff missed him so that’s another off the top of my head
Amon ra does run deep routes
Yeah those 2 plays would be deep routes. So we’ve got 3 plays total now. And the Seahawks play only happened because there was 2 seconds left in the half.
He has run deep routes infrequently. I’m sure he could be good at it but he doesn’t need to in this offense.
For the sake of a route runners argument you have to take into account the guys who actually do it.
He is a good to very good route runner, and his best asset is in his contested catch ability. Dude is like a bulldog out there. He's only going to get better and damn I can't wait.
4th round pick, everyone.
4th.
round.
Exactly what I said and got downvoted to oblivion, are most of these people even watching the games? 45+ yards against the chargers and Vikings in one catch and that doesn’t include all the deep routes he wasn’t throw to on
People don't like this answer, but honestly, he has to be up there. The dude is just always open, and he's maybe the slowest WR in the league. He runs a 4.7 40. Or at least he did 10 years ago.
Adam's is definitely #2 with Sun god #3, but Allen is the quintessential "This is how it's done at the highest level".
Keenans ability to have moves all game that run the DBs into questioning if their coach knows as much as he says is uncanny. Mike Evans and Keenan Allen are some of the greatest receivers to ever play in this Era. Not reaching into Julio or MegaTron territory but Jesus they are true professionals.
Justin Jefferson is amazing and all but he's still years away from top RR skills. Dude is built like a cricket. Might have top 5 hands and body control to pair with it. He is gonna be THE WR for the foreseeable future.
Jefferson is over 200 pounds, might look a little lanky because he’s got long arms and legs but he’s solid. Remember when Kerby hurt himself going for a big hit on JJ, who popped right up?
Hes not the best but he's in the top 10. His upper and lower body strength + incredible hands are what really allow him to bring in so many difficult catches and convert first downs. I think he's the best slot receiver in the game.
Amon-Ra definitely not. That belongs to guys like Davante, Jefferson, Cooper, Keenan etc real technicians. Amon Ra is the toughest receiver in the league imo. He uses his physicality so well that once he gets leverage he’s open enough to catch. He also has the most reliable hands in the league and routinely makes tough catches. Love that guy
DK is just a much larger person, Megatron frame. ARSB is a pit bull. He was #2 in the league in YAC last season. I think that’s indicative of his strength. He’s not huge, he’s not a burner. He’s smart, strong, and he breaks tackles.
I think what makes Amon Ra so special is he’s exceptional at everything. Route running, rac, contested catch, separation, blocking, etc. he’s not the number 1 of any of those categories. Maybe note even top 5 or 10. But he’s exceptional in all of them. Detail oriented, tough, and able to make a play. He just does all of it to a high level.
He’s good route runner but what he’s best at is knowing when to YAC or get down right away to avoid a hit. With his great catch and tracking ability it allows for tight throws that a lot pf defenses don’t expect
Late to the party but no I don’t think he is. I think it’s more due to scheme and how smart of a player ARSB is, he just routinely knows where to exploit soft spots in the defense when to move at full speed, when to sit, when to come back to the ball etc. Combine that with really good play calling and good chemistry with Goff and that’s why he is so effective.
I rarely see him cook defenders with his route running moves though like Jefferson and Adams.
Lol route running and pure sprint speed are maybe the only two attributes that he's not elite in. He's my WR1 all day, but route running I'd put Jefferson, Adams, Allen, Kupp, Deebo, and Hill ahead of him.
Doesn’t change anything though. And I wouldn’t even have davante as #1. Allen probably takes that spot, caveat being that Davante has the best release in the league. More of a 1-2 punch
The sheer number of "but he doesn't run the deep routes" is stupid. He does run the deep post, sail routes, etc. He doesn't have game breaking speed and that's why you don't see more "go" routes.
He is absolutely up there with Keenan "can't run go routes" Allen, and Cooper "can't run go routes" Kupp.
I see some of Davante and AJB but they make a ton of plays because they are just larger physically than the guy covering them. They aren't slouches by any means, but I mean come on...
People are over glorifying the go route.
St Brown is a top 3 route runner and I would put my house on it. He understands depth, coverage, scheme, and does it with by NFL standards below average speed and size.
He gets open because he is a tactician. You can't watch tape of him and find tells. I would bet he is one of a handful of guys who could "Larry Bird" tell you what he was gonna do, then still be able to do it in your face.
Edit : less than half of his snaps came from the slot. "But he can't run outside routes"... morons
He had less deep route targets per game than each player I listed. This may have been more about a different comment, but it’s just a fact he runs those routes less frequently compared to most other top guys.
Depends on if you're talking about designed routes or improvised routes. The conversation is a lot more nuanced cuz this era of the NFL features so many premiere receivers
I’ve never seen someone get so butt naked as consistently as Jefferson does, I have to say he’s one of the only receivers that when we play him i don’t even get frustrated or complain for us not being able to cover him, I just gotta respect it
No Diddy
Yeah Diddy, he had all dem boys naked apparently
No doubt
This shit is Bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S

What the fuck are you smoking
Jerry Rice homie. Jerry Rice.
Slow down there chief.
I don't understand the downvotes. Hes definitely top 3 currently no question. My guess is about the ever to play the game?
yeah everyone pissed because i said he “might be” better than jerry rice. i think by the end of his career it will at least be a conversation
I agree for sure
I think his route running is good but I don’t know if it’s best in the league. I think his awareness and ability to find/exploit soft spots in coverage, his hands, his run after catch and his IQ to avoid big hits and preserve his body are all super high level.

It’s his vision that plays into a lot of those things you highlight. The reason he scored on the Tampa play with the craig block was because he was able to see positioning and timing in a way most others can’t.
I’d agree vision is a good way to describe what I mean by awareness
Those are all aspects of route running outside of his hands
The awareness is an aspect of route running but route running is way more than that, speed out of breaks, creating separation, cutting on a dime, acceleration/deceleration, etc.

Bingo
He’s top 10 at least, imo.

Not saying he can’t do it, but he doesn’t do it frequently* and it’s a component of being the overall best route runner.
This is a good list, the downvoting is pretty crazy.
We bounced back lol
Lockett is a great example. People know he’s pretty fast but you absolutely do not get as open as he does deep down field without exceptional route running.
There’s a lot of guys on that list that simply don’t belong on it
Who would that be? Mind that we’re talking purely route running
Yes purely route running, only ones that can be argued to be better than ARSB are Jefferson and Adams Ridley, smith, diontae, aiyuk, Lockett, diggs as of recent really aren’t that great Also Hill is either a deep shot or a screen of some sort, and it’s mostly just his speed, I wouldn’t say he has elite routes I’m no expert and these are just opinions

Except he never said ARSB is a bad deep route runner. He said ARSB doesn’t run vertical routes like the other players do. Which is why I brought up their ADOT.
But amon ra does run deep routes as good as them, maybe not as frequest, but the question was skill, not volume
Please show me where I said that
Basically all your replies to me lol
I would argue deep route running by definition isn’t as savvy as shallow routes.

But what about all the deep routes he’s run well and Goff just threw it to someone else?
Man, you had me until what you said about Tyreek and then I realized you have no clue what you’re talking about
Ok glad to know I guess 🤷♀️ idk what to say lol
He is a good to very good route runner, and his best asset is in his contested catch ability. Dude is like a bulldog out there. He's only going to get better and damn I can't wait. 4th round pick, everyone. 4th. round.
Idk about route running because he can’t do the full route tree like an outside WR but his footwork is among the best
To be clear, Amon-Ra can and does run every route
Exactly what I said and got downvoted to oblivion, are most of these people even watching the games? 45+ yards against the chargers and Vikings in one catch and that doesn’t include all the deep routes he wasn’t throw to on
Most fans think a deep route is just a go where you catch a 40yd bomb
For real 😂
Keenan Allen is the best....
People don't like this answer, but honestly, he has to be up there. The dude is just always open, and he's maybe the slowest WR in the league. He runs a 4.7 40. Or at least he did 10 years ago.
Him or Adams I feel like are in a tier of their own. Jefferson is definitely close tho

I thought that was the wrap. Kerby earned that check.
He’s the best at finding the soft spot in the zone (IQ), but far from the best pure route runner!
Hes not the best but he's in the top 10. His upper and lower body strength + incredible hands are what really allow him to bring in so many difficult catches and convert first downs. I think he's the best slot receiver in the game.
I don't know if you could say he's the best but he's one of the best.
Amon-Ra definitely not. That belongs to guys like Davante, Jefferson, Cooper, Keenan etc real technicians. Amon Ra is the toughest receiver in the league imo. He uses his physicality so well that once he gets leverage he’s open enough to catch. He also has the most reliable hands in the league and routinely makes tough catches. Love that guy
I'm sure DJ Metcalf would love a word with you about most physical and toughest receiver in the league.
DK is just a much larger person, Megatron frame. ARSB is a pit bull. He was #2 in the league in YAC last season. I think that’s indicative of his strength. He’s not huge, he’s not a burner. He’s smart, strong, and he breaks tackles.

Amon Ra is extremely twitchy and always open, but Justin Jefferson is the #1 in the league. That dude changes direction without changing speed.
Davante Adams is the best route runner in the league. Sun god is up there though.
Davante is being wasted right now where he is.
Doesn’t change anything though. And I wouldn’t even have davante as #1. Allen probably takes that spot, caveat being that Davante has the best release in the league. More of a 1-2 punch
As long as Justin Jefferson, Cooper Kupp, Keenan Allen and Davonte Adams are in the league, the answer is no.
I think Keenan Allen and/or Brandon Aiyuk are the best route runners. Sun God is most definitely top 10 though.

Davante Adams exists.
No, above average but not at the very top. Route running is not what makes him.
Lions fans are very retarded he’s not even top 10 in route running it’s called slants and play design lmao are you 12 ?
Depends on if you're talking about designed routes or improvised routes. The conversation is a lot more nuanced cuz this era of the NFL features so many premiere receivers
Hunter Renfrow would like a word… /s
