It has become more of a common occurrence than a rarity that the Los Angeles Chargers second-round rookie receiver shows up in a big way in big games. On Saturday night, Ladd McConkey proved once again to be the most reliable and explosive weapon in the Charger's arsenal

McConkey broke Keenan Allen 's Chargers rookie records for receptions and receiving yards in the win over the Patriots. In the process, he also made it nine straight games with 50+ receiving yards, a mark only he and Nabers achieved this year, joining Odell Beckham Jr. as the only rookies to do it.

McConkey was selected by the Chargers three picks before the Patriots took Ja’Lynn Polk with the No. 37 pick in the second round. His production has been evident throughout the season, as he has recorded 69 receptions for 960 yards and five touchdowns on the year.
