Thanks!

It's a guy that can catch the ball in traffic and keep the chains moving. Traditionally, a "possession receiver" isn't a big-play guy. Examples of possession guys would be Keyshawn Johnson, Wayne Chrebet circa 2000, and the ultimate would be Art Monk.

I wouldn't call TO a possession receiver because he really is dominant at catching balls in traffic and at catching balls on deep routes.
