>Sutton said Thursday that he downloaded clips from Saints receiver Michael Thomas’ standout season in 2019, when the Ohio State product caught a then-NFL record 149 passes for 1,725 yards and nine touchdowns. Thomas averaged 107.8 yards and more than nine catches a game as he set a new NFL reception mark.
>”It’s interesting, I actual just got — not too long ago, maybe a week or two ago — I just got Michael Thomas’ 2019 targets from his year that he broke the record,” Sutton said. “[I’m] just diving into it [to] be able to see how he may have run a route that we are learning right now. Figuring out ways to get open.”
>While Thomas’ 2019 production was outlandish and will be highly difficult to replicate, Sutton said he’s looking to add traits from Thomas’ game to his own.
>”Obviously he had a really good year that year, so to be able to find ways to implement the things he did well into my game, I feel like we’ll be able to have a lot of success,” Sutton said.
