Really should have targeted Reggie Germany and Ken-Yon Rambo more way back in his freshman year.

No love for Brian Stablein? He was a gritty, gutsy receiver!

One of the things that really surprised me was the negative yards per target to the running backs. I think it might be because J.T. wasn’t all that accurate and his slow throwing motion and inability to throw on time. I just glanced at the data but it looks like all the pure running backs have similar stats. I just realized I read the chart incorrectly but it does show that we rarely target a RB downfield.

Wow...JTB has worked with some ridiculous talent during his years of service. Most of these guys are/were great blockers, but how about efficient production down the field? A few thoughts on sure-handedness among current players...
K.J. Hill is 4th by yardage, but he only has 3 drops and a 76.5% (65/85) reception per target rate. He reminds me a bit of Corey “Philly” Brown, just a bit more rangy - steady, reliable, very fast when they get going and shifty around the line of scrimmage. Potentially deadly on reverses and over the middle with tOSU’s WR blocking under Meyer. Excellent slot/HB.
Parris Campbell’s 8 drops are surprisingly lower than Marcus Baugh’s 11, though now that I think about it, I can picture a few of Baugh’s more egregious ones and the clap of shame. PC could light it up next year, especially if he were more involved in the rushing game plan. ST optional, imo.
Terry McLaurin has few drops and a massive air yards/target at 17.1. Only Devin Smith has a deeper yardage rate (an amazing 20.8) during JT’s career...Victor and Dixon are close. I’d say Terry (and Dixon to an intermittent degree) satisfies that Deep Ball Threat role nicely. Victor makes up for low raw production with the 3rd highest yards per catch of anyone with at least 10 catches.
Austin Mack is on par with Hill, albeit with 40% of the targets. Next QB needs to get him more chances - I think he’s primed for a breakout year in ‘18. That could be said about all of those I’ve mentioned. Really good stable of pass-catchers on this team at the moment.
I’m just a tad worried that half of these guys will head to the Draft…

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
ZACK GROSSI, SHRINE GAME QUARTERBACKS COACH AND NFL ASSISTANT, FULLY EXPECTS J.T. BARRETT TO SUCCEED AT NEXT LEVEL
Throughout his career at Ohio State, J.T. Barrett was repeatedly praised by his coaches for his practice habits, work ethic, leadership qualities and everything else he brought to the table.
Zack Grossi, after having the opportunity to coach Barrett this week, understands why.
"Wow," Grossi interjected when asked what it was like to work with Barrett at this week’s East-West Shrine Game. "Everything you hear about the intangibles and all the good stuff you hear about him is true."
Grossi, an assistant coach for the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has worked directly with Barrett all week as the East team’s quarterbacks coach for Saturday’s Shrine Game (3 p.m., NFL Network). And Grossi has been nothing but impressed with what he has seen from the former Buckeye quarterback and 2018 NFL draft hopeful.
"He’s a smart kid, been really great all week in the meeting rooms, picked things up fast," Grossi said. "Probably throws the ball better than I anticipated going in. Just has really worked hard."
