From the article

Over the last three years, he's put the ball on the turf a staggering eight times, leading all tight ends in that span. That's a rate of once every 19.6 times he touches the ball. For perspective, that is like a running back who touches the ball 20 times a game who fumbles once every game. That's atrocious. His fumbling woes have caused opposing defensive coordinators to openly admit to going after him.

Ferguson leads all tight ends with eight fumbles in three years; coordinators target him.

Over the last three years, Ferguson has fumbled eight times, leading all tight ends in that span—a rate of once every 19.6 touches. The source compares this to a running back who touches the ball 20 times per game fumbling once every game, calling it 'atrocious.' Defensive coordinators have openly admitted to targeting Ferguson because he carries the ball away from his frame, making him vulnerable to aggressive defenders who deliberately swipe at the ball. A costly fumble on a shovel pass against Baltimore a couple of weeks ago erased a promising scoring drive.
