DeVonta Smith, Luther Burden III and Ladd McConkey, all players who played a lot in the slot in 2025, were all much better in yards per route outside, contrary to popular belief on some. All three should play more outside in new offenses/WR rooms in 2026 (increases in yds/route: Smith +150%, Burden +59%, McConkey +39%).
