Since 2008, there have been 20 receivers with more than 65 targets of at least 21 yards downfield. The only one not to drop a deep ball? Brandon Lloyd (88 targets).
Over the past two seasons, with Josh McDaniels as his head coach or primary offensive coordinator, Lloyd was the most targeted receiver on throws deeper than 20 yards downfield, with 73 such targets.
Calvin Johnson was second with 64.
Lloyd has done this with Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, A.J. Feeley and Kellen Clemens as his quarterbacks.
Lloyd’s quarterback this year is Tom Brady. And his offensive coordinator is Josh McDaniels.

Colvin recalled a sign on the door at Gillette Stadium about ignoring the outside noise, and also how Belichick stresses the simple mantra “Do your job.”
“That’s the one quote I’ll always remember, the one I teach my kids, and tell my employees,” said Colvin, who is happy in retirement in Indianapolis, where he owns a UPS Store and does media work on the side. “I just feel like those expectations were always addressed and that quote sums it up, and that’s what makes Bill who he is, on the cutting edge, making sure things are done the proper way.”
