An Underrated Receiver

He may have only made two catches in Dallas, but on one of them, Adam Humphries showed the world how vastly underrated he really is.

We all watched Humphries develop into an able-bodied number cohort across from Mike Evans in 2015. He posted 27 receptions last year and is on his way to potentially doubling that number in 2016.

On Sunday night, he showed his hands and his fire on the 42 yard touchdown pass he received from Winston. We already talked about the throw but the catch was superb. To be able to bring it in after the deflection, falling down, and with the defender draped all over him, shows a unique ability to concentrate. Not many receivers are going to make that play.

Humphries worked hard to get where he is, and he showed the other night that he is only getting better.
