Pierce is coming off his most productive season, eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. He again led the NFL in yards per catch for the second consecutive season, averaging 21.3 yards per reception. Pierce also had six touchdown receptions.
Pierce is known for the home run ability he brings to the Colts’ offense. However, as we saw last season, he can provide much more than that.
During his time with the Colts, Pierce’s route-running abilities have greatly improved, and with that, have come more opportunities to attack other levels of the field while doing so in a variety of ways.

While that may reduce his overall yards per catch figure, Pierce’s impact on a game will grow. Pierce will need to continue developing into that true No. 1 option in the passing game.
