Rookie had just 1 drop in 2024
Geno Smith has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the NFL in recent seasons.
Thus, he throws catchable balls. He is in good hands with his new wide receivers with the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Raiders just drafted one of the most sure-handed wide receivers available in the form of TCU’s Jack Bech. According to The 33rd Team, Bech had just one drop on 91 targets last season. He was just one of two major-college football players to have 1,000-plus receiving yard with a drop rate of under 1.5 percent in 2024.

The Raiders are adding Bech to a wide receiver room that also features veteran Jakobi Meyers, who didn’t have a drop on 129 targets last season. He was the only receiver with more than 100 targets not to be charged with a drop in the 2024 NFL season.
So, yes, the Raiders are in good hands (pun intended) with Meyers and Bech.
