Ranking the NFL’s best wide receivers in the red zone from the 2021 season (9. AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DETROIT LIONS (Receiving Grade in Red Zone: 73.6):  While St. Brown surprised the NFL landscape with a solid rookie campaign, his red-zone play was fairly average. He snagged 10 of his 15 targets for 82 yards and four touchdowns. In addition, he caught 90.9% of his catchable targets.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-ranking-best-wide-receivers-red-zone-2021-season


The NFL's top 12 centers (9. Frank Ragnow:  The emergence of Frank Ragnow as one of the NFL’s top centers has been one of the few bright spots for the Detroit Lions over the past few seasons. After spending the 2018 campaign primarily at left guard, Ragnow moved to center full-time for the 2019 season and has been nothing less than stellar.  According to Pro Football Focus charting data, Ragnow allowed just two sacks during the 2019 campaign, along with 18 quarterback pressures. During the 2020 season, Ragnow cut those numbers down to zero sacks, and just nine pressures. Last year? Ragnow again did not allow a sack, and was charted with just four allowed pressures.  The only thing that prevents Ragnow from being higher on this list is the fact that due to a toe injury that required surgery, Ragnow saw just over 200 snaps.  When healthy, he is among the best. Watch the job he does in pass protection here against the Baltimore Ravens, winning with a combination of hand technique and footwork.  On this long-developing play against the Green Bay Packers, watch as Ragnow drops the anchor and does not give an inch up front.  While his limited action in 2021 drops him down this list a bit, if Ragnow is fully healthy in 2022, expect him to rocket up these lists next summer.):  https://touchdownwire.usatoday.com/lists/nfl-best-centers-corey-linsley-jason-kelce-creed-humphrey/
