What happened: His longest gain covered 32 yards, and he converted a first down with his team trailing 7-0. The rookie finished with an 87.5% catch rate.
Why it matters: The early volume strengthens the No. 33 pick’s case for an immediate offensive role. His efficiency also gives coaches a useful baseline against live competition.
By the numbers: Stribling averaged 9.0 yards per catch and 7.9 yards per target, catching seven of eight passes for 63 yards.
What to watch: His target share and work against stronger preseason units will be the next tests.
