Falcons wide receiver Taylor Gabriel netted the highest passer rating of any receiver on passes thrown to him in 2016, according to Pro Football Focus.
The passer rating of 148.1 on balls thrown to Gabriel last season was significantly better than the second-best rating of 129.8 on passes to Patriots wide receiver Chris Hogan. Cowboys wide receiver Terrance Williams had the third-highest, at 124.6.
Last season, Gabriel finished with 35 catches for 579 yards and 6 TDs, playing mainly as the No. 3 receiver behind Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu. He also caused a bit of a stir earlier this year when he said he could outrun Jamaican sprinting champion Usain Bolt in a 40-yard dash.
