How many former collegiate quarterback-skill player pairings in the NFL can you name? With nearly a fifth of the league following this latest trend, jfmckessy examines why it makes so much sense. FrontOffice33 | NFL
A new trend has been sweeping across the NFL. I’m not talking about the heightened tendency for coaches to go for it on fourth down or attempt two-point conversions. Nor am I talking about the willingness for teams to “protect” talented rookie quarterbacks by keeping them on the bench for a year—or, in the 49ers’ case, maybe two.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that all those players—with the exception of Etienne, who was out for the year—were all top-4 finishers in receiving yards among rookies. They were all early draft picks, after all. So, what better way to get a quick answer than to give that quarterback a weapon he already has chemistry with?
However, quarterback Derek Carr and Adams were teammates at Fresno State in 2012 and 2013. During that time, according to, Adams led all FBS players in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns, while Carr led all FBS quarterbacks in passing yards and passing touchdowns. Unlike some other moves, the trade and resulting reunion might have more of an ulterior motive: keeping Murray happy as contract negotiations loom.
If the newly reunited quarterback-receiver duos work as well as reunions did in Cincinnati, Miami and Philadelphia, more teams may continue to hop on the trend. Not having to worry about chemistry between a quarterback and a new receiver to the team can be a huge weight off of teams’ shoulders. The last thing any team wants is a disaster like wide receiver Kenny Golladay’s first season with the Giants, in which he had one of his worst years right after signing a big contract.
