Re: ProFootballFocus: Best/Worst drop rate for 2011 WRs

The yards after the catch and the TDs are the things I'm most concerned about.
I am going to guess that in order for something to be counted as a drop, it has to hit the receiver's hand. While the way the QB throws the ball can certainly lead to the WR dropping the ball, I would say that this is a good assessment of how reliable a wideout is at holding on to the ball.
