The headliner number here is 81.5% (!!!) success rate vs man coverage. For reference, the highest graded player against man coverage last year was Stefon Diggs at 79.4%. Downs is already a star-level player in the league.

He’s actually kinda ridiculous off the line, he’s so quick.
You could tell that our offense suffered mightily without Downs playing.
The Carolina game Minshew seemed to just have no one to throw the ball to. Downs gets open and Minshew needs that to sustain drives.
There was a thread talking about holes to fill next year and people kept saying WR. I think we have a legit duo in Pittman and Downs who compliment each other nicely if we get some consistency at QB
