Robinson failed to mention wide receiver Rashod Bateman, who is looking to build off his breakout 2024 season, when he had a career-high marks of 756 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.
There’s also the presence of running back Derrick Henry, which opens things up in the passing game, as does the threat of Jackson running. Running backs Justice Hill, Keaton Mitchell, and others also contribute to the passing attack.
Jackson made huge strides as a passer last season, throwing for a career-high 4,172 yards, which ranked sixth in the league. He led the NFL in passer rating (119.6), QBR (77.3), touchdown percentage (8.6), yards per pass attempt (8.8), and air yards per pass attempt (10.15).
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow led the league with 4,918 passing yards last season.
