GH: Ever hear of the receiving triple crown?

GH: Have you been thinking about the triple crown?

JC: No. I just try to play.

GH: You’re leading in the three categories. Yards. Catches. Touchdown.

GH: I’m sure you knew that.

JC: I knew it. It’s something on my Sticky Note. I try not to keep it in my mental. I just try to play.

GH: The triple crown has been done twice in this century. I think Cooper Kupp in 2021…

JC: Cooper Kupp did it, yeah.

GH: Steve Smith Sr. did it in 2005.

JC: Steve Smith did it? I did not know that.

JC: As receivers, the quarterback has to throw us the ball. We’re not like quarterbacks or running backs where they have an easier way of touching it. Not saying that their job is easy. But for us, it’s a lot more go through to get the ball than those guys back there.

GH: How did you get open in Baltimore even though they knew it was coming to you?

JC: Zac (Taylor) and Pitch (Dan Pitcher) did a good job of just moving me around in the offense. I was on the same page with Joe on scramble drills. We had some opportunities to make plays. After the catch. They did a lot of different coverages at me. It wasn’t just cloud, quarters, man, two-man. They did a good job just throwing me anything.

GH: You still got open. How many different spots did you play that night?

JC: All over the field besides running back. Probably running back, too.

GH: Mike Gesicki was talking about how you know the playbook and how well you have to know it to move around like you do and how that movement puts the defense on its heels.

JC: You do have to. I’ve been waiting for this year to happen. To finally just move around like this. Be free. And an opportunity to show it.

GH: Did you earn that opportunity or is it something you could have done the last few years?

JC: I earned it . I had to. I had to earn it just because of TB (Tyler Boyd) leaving. And Tee (Higgins) already had some slot routes. He doesn’t run a lot of slot routes. It was already part of my job as an open spot to learn that spot. Like Andrei (Iosivas) comes in, he learns every spot. He just doesn’t learn the inside slot. That was the same thing with me this year. Learning every position. Not just one position. One dimensional.

GH: So now that they have total faith with you in the playbook, they put you anywhere.

GH: You have played the slot in the past, right?

JC: I played a little bit. It just wasn’t as many different routes and targets that I’ve had now.
