Catch Percentage

"Michael Campanaro: 72.1% Jarvis Landry: 66.4% Brandin Cooks: 65.5% Jordan Matthews: 64.9% Davante Adams: 64.8% Josh Huff: 61.4% Odell Beckham Jr: 61% Ryan Grant: 60.9% Bruce Ellington: 60.8% TJ Jones: 60.4%"

Michael Campanaro, a former 7th round pick by the Baltimore Ravens, surprisingly tops this list, knocking Jarvis Landry into second place. Campanaro has not played in an NFL game since 2017 but had a pretty impressive four seasons in Baltimore for a 7th round pick. Campanaro caught 31 of his 43 targets in his NFL career, totaling 310 receiving yards and two career touchdowns.

He also had 10 carries for 131 yards rushing and one rushing touchdown, so while he isn’t a name you would remember from this draft class, he certainly has enough tape for an NFL highlight reel.

Since coming to Cleveland, both Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham, Jr. have seen a drop in their catch percentage. Jarvis Landry has caught 60.8% of his targets since arriving in Cleveland, and OBJ has caught 55.1% of his targets. Hopefully, Odell will be able to raise his catch percentage as he enters year two of being in Kevin Stefanski’s offense.

Jarvis, on the other hand, saw his third-best catch percentage of his career underneath Kevin Stefanski this past season, catching a surprising 71.3% of his targets. His 73.1% catch percentage made a monstrous jump from the season before, where he caught 60.1% of his targets in 2019, and only 54.4% of his targets in his first season in Cleveland, 2018.
