Through five games this year, he has a drop rate of 9.5%, which is a high percentage for a player targeted on short-to-intermediate routes. Obviously, the most devastating example came on Thursday night when the ball was thrown right at his grill. Not only did he not secure the catch, but the ball deflected off his face and stayed in the air forever until a Buccaneers defender could safely get under it.

Ferguson's 9.5% drop rate through five games is a critical liability.

Through five games in 2024, Ferguson has a 9.5% drop rate, which is high for a player targeted on short-to-intermediate routes; most notably, he dropped a potential game-winning drive in Thursday night's game when the ball was thrown directly at him and deflected off his face into a Buccaneers defender's hands. The source characterizes this as a pattern of costly mistakes raising questions about his overall consistency and long-term effectiveness.
