Super Bowl 53: 20 Bold predictions for Patriots vs. Rams
By Dan Parzych
19. Woods finishes with most receptions
Two years ago, the Rams signed Robert Woods in free agency with the intention of providing Jared Goff with a better weapon to work with in the passing game, and while some fans questioned the decision at the time, this was an amazing decision by the organization.
After seeing how Woods never even broke the 700-yard receiving mark in four seasons with the Buffalo Bills, some Los Angeles fans believed the team should have invested their money somewhere else.
Based off the numbers from the previous two seasons, the decision to sign Woods is now viewed as one of the most underrated moves from free agency in 2017, and one can only imagine where the offense would be without him.
Watching Woods haul in 86 passes for 1,219 yards and six touchdowns (all career highs) shows how much of a reliable weapon he’s been for Goff on offense, and should see plenty of targets as usual during the Super Bowl.
Both teams are fortunate enough to be loaded with talent at the wide receiver position, but if Woods ended up being the one who led the big game in receptions, nobody would be surprised one bit since he’s become a top wideout for a reason.
