S36 Over 4 Seasons
In the S36 draft class, 20 receivers declared themselves as eligible. 11 of those earned enough to find a spot on a DSFL roster. Out of those, 9 found their way onto an ISFL roster, and out of those, 7 are still currently in some way active. That is all to say, keeping a football career going is not easy, and classes can get cut down quick.
Now that S39 has officially ended, it has been 4 seasons since the S36 receiver class was selected by their respective teams. If this was the NFL, it would be time for each of the first rounders to get their 5th year options picked up, and for the rest of the class to get their extensions, so this is as good a time as any to see just how their careers have played out so far!
A few things to mention before we get to the stats however, some of the receivers have come from different situations.
These receivers got called up instantly after the draft:
Zaphod Beeblebrox
Sconnie McSix
The following receiver changed positions:
Sconnie McSix
So keep that in mind when looking at the following graphs, as the stats are likely to be skewed somewhat for those players.Receptions
Beebz with the nice amount of receptions really lapping the field with Austin here. Even if you cut out his S36 stats to equalize him with the field he still only trails Sconnie by 2 at 310 catches. Speaking of, Sconnie is the real benefactor of the extra year, because even at runningback he caught 63 passes in his rookie year. Take that away and he falls from 1st after adjustment to…..2nd with 249 catches. So apparently he’s still a fiend when targeted even without the extra year, and after the position change. As for the one’s we don’t need to adjust, Everyone falls in just about the same amount. Mandrews McHollywood leads the rest of the field by a whopping 1 reception with 230. Perez, who left Honolulu after his first year for Berlin, is right behind at 229, just ahead of Chicago’s Austin Morley at 226. 4 catches behind is Orange County’s Thomas Robinson, and in last place in the man formerly known as Don Dobbler from New Orleans, Louisiana with 215.Yards
A very similar exercise here, with 2 clear favorites who, even after adjustment, still clearly lead the field. Beebz at 4,975 still leads if you remove his 1,076 yard rookie season and put him at 3,899. McSix, similarly, stays in second place after taking out his 649 yards to put him at 3,191. Closer to Morley in 3rd, but still insanely impressive considering he didn’t play receiver for his first year. Interestingly, 2 of the lowest 3 in receptions jump up to 3rd and 4th in yards gained in Morley and Dobbler/Poop-Eater, both topping 3,000 yards in 3 seasons. McHollywood comes in 5th with 2,904 yards, just ahead of Perez’s 2,873, and in a distant last is Thomas Robinson at 2,570.Touchdowns
A very diverse and varied chart we have here, with a clear leader in McSix. However, when accounting for his extra season, the standing change quite a bit. McSix scored 9 receiving touchdowns in S36, and taking those away puts him at 25, one behind apparent red zone fiend Poop Eater Sr. Similarly, Beebz had his best TD-scoring season in his rookie year with 8, and taking those away moves him down to 16, and from 3rd all the way down to last place, behind even Octavio Perez at 17. Apparently, Beebz is an absolute monster everywhere but the red zone. As for the rest of the field, post adjustment, Mandrews sits once again middle of the pack at 3rd with 24, after consecutive 9 TD scoring seasons. Robinson sits at 4th with 22, scoring more touchdowns every season, with 5 in his rookie year, 8 last season, and now 9 in his most recent year. Morley sits at 5th with 19, also increasing his TD production every year, and Perez at 6th with 2 solid TD season and one really unproductive rookie year scoring only twice.Longest Reception
To be honest, I mostly included this last category in biased favor of my own player. Mandrews’s 94-yard reception in S38 against NOLA easily leads the field, with the rest of the players all sitting within 70-yard catches, apart from Beeblebrox, with a relatively short 63-yard catch.In the end
So, what did we learn? Well apparently Beeblebrox is a fantastic possession receiver but not particularly explosive, McSix wasted the first year of his career at RB when clearly he was ment to be a receiver, Mandrews was an absolute steal in the 3rd round, Honolulu is dearly missing Perez, and Dobbler is hoping that strong performances will bring his user back, as are we all.
