Puka Nacua proved to be one of, if not the best, slot receiver in 2024.
The Los Angeles Rams star averaged 3.56 yards per route run from that position, per The 33rd Team, which ranked first out all receivers with at least 200 total routes this past season. Nacua was one of just four receivers who averaged at least 3.0 yards per route run from the slot and finished ahead of Rashod Bateman (3.37), Brian Thomas Jr. (3.12) and George Pickens (3.01).
Nacua only played 11 games this past season after re-aggravating a knee injury and missing most of the beginning of the season, but he still finished with 79 receptions for 990 yards and three touchdowns.

With another offseason under his belt with Matthew Stafford and a new running mate in Davante Adams, Sean McVay is looking to continue to develop Nacua into one of the best overall receivers in the league in 2025.
