Charting
Where Jr.'s plays went: throw and catch spots, air yards and yards after the catch, read from the play-by-play
Where he's targeted51 targets charted
The play-by-play names the defender on breakups, interceptions and tackles, but not the man in coverage on every throw, so true times-targeted isn't in the text. Coverage plays is the closest stand-in; exact targets come from hand charting.

2025 season. ESPN's play-by-play only has throw and catch spots for part of 2025 (6 of Jr.’s games here), so treat the maps as a sample.
