446yds, 3tds
483yds, 1td
997yds, 12td
885yds, 10td
Slow first two years, broke out in year-3, still didn't crack 1000yds til year-5 when he became a consistent 1300-1500yd guy. Doesn't mean Pierce will become that good, just means we might not know for the first few years.

yeah i understand that some guys will still take a bit. just saying that it isn't the norm as it was back in the day. i mean most players get better after a few years in the league if they are worth being in the league
