Addison has seen at least 57 percent of his targets come 10+ yards downfield in every season of his career. His bread gets buttered on chunk gains. Kyler Murray simply can't make those throws. Pro Football Focus has him charted with a 38.2 percent accurate throw rate when going 10+ yards downfield. That is 27th out of 34 qualified quarterbacks. Murray also ranks outside the top 20 quarterbacks in the rate of his throws that travel 10 yards downfield. Addison does not fit what Murray is capable of or interested in doing.

Negative signalProjection

Jefferson's chunk-play profile doesn't fit Murray's limited deep-ball accuracy.

Jefferson has seen at least 57 percent of his targets come 10+ yards downfield in every season of his career, as his bread gets buttered on chunk gains. However, Kyler Murray simply can't make those throws; Pro Football Focus has him charted with a 38.2 percent accurate throw rate when going 10+ yards downfield, ranking 27th out of 34 qualified quarterbacks. Murray also ranks outside the top 20 in the rate of his throws that travel 10 yards downfield, making Jefferson a poor fit for what Murray is capable of or interested in doing.
