In 2009, Malcom Floyd provided Phillip Rivers and the Chargers with the deep threat they needed in what has become a pretty potent passing offense. We’re sure he would have liked to have seen both more targets and receptions come out of his efforts, but when you have guys like Antonio Gates and Vincent Jackson above you on the food chain, 76 targets and 45 catches ain’t so bad. Floyd used his height (6’5”) and speed well during the season and turned those assets into 776 yards and a touchdown. He also turned in 17.2 yards/catch on the year, which ended up tying him for 4th in the league in that category. Still, just one TD for a team that placed 4th in the NFL in points scored was a little disappointing.
