Dexter Banks II is going to have a field day in the NSFL. Orange County has him locked up for the next few years, but barring crazy circumstances, I don’t see him going anywhere anytime soon. The Otters also have another key piece in place for the foreseeable future. Franklin Armstrong, the rookie quarterback is under contract through Season 20. I see that duo making a lot of NSFL history together. They play in a pass-happy offense and both are rapidly developing players with hug potential. If they have enough seasons together on the field then I can easily see Banks getting the record for most receiving yards in a season. Let’s do some quick statistical analysis. The record for receiving yards in a season is 1860 or 143 yards per game. That’s a hefty number, but with 2 or 3 monster games against the crappier half of the league and that average starts to look very attainable for a stud receiver. What about targets you ask? Well, Hugh Mongo should be there for the long haul as well, but that’s not a problem at all! Last year veteran quarterback Gus TT Showbiz threw the ball 40 times a game, and I assume the OCO GMs will give Armstrong the same opportunistic game plan in a season or two. If Banks can attain an average of 18 yards per catch (5th place equivalent in S17) then he would need 104 catches on the year to clear the yardage record. Assuming a 60% catch rate, then Banks would need 172 targets in a season. That number may seem staggering, but that’s only a 32.7% target share in a peak Orange County offense.
