PFF recently published a metric that effectively illustrates how dynamic the connection between Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and WR Khalil Shakir is.
This acronym, which stands for “get open, catch the ball,” is one that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen oft-uses with his receiving corps, and it’s one that Khalil Shakir has seemingly taken to heart. The former fifth-round draft pick emerged down the stretch of his sophomore campaign, demonstrating an excellent understanding of defensive coverages and a seemingly innate ability to get open and make himself available for his quarterback.
Pro Football Focus recently put out a statistic that effectively illustrates just how dynamic the connection was last season Allen, per PFF, targeted Shakir 56 times last season, with 51 of these throws being considered “catchable.” That’s good for a catchable target rate of 91.1%; they’re the only duo in the NFL with a catchable target rate of over 90%, with the next closest being Geno Smith and Jaxon Smith-Njigba at 85.1%.
