In 2024 season was a breakout campaign, racking up 907 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns, proving he's not just a flash in the pan he's a reliable playmaker. His ability to change the game on any snap makes him a nightmare for defensive coordinators, especially when lined up in space or given a free release.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>What truly separates Erick is his upside on special teams. His top-end speed and vision make him a dangerous return man, capable of flipping field position or taking it to the house on any given touch.
