As a rookie in a limited offense, Mingo had a respectable 85 targets in 15 games. With the Carolina receiver group being led by the 33-year-old Adam Thielen, there wasn't major competition for targets. Unfortunately, Mingo struggled with drops and ended the season catching just 50.6 percent of his passes. The receiver wasn't very effective with a 40th percentile yards after the catch rate. It's possible that both Mingo and rookie quarterback Bryce Young were overmatched as rookies. Although there weren't many positives to take from Mingo's rookie season, it's possible we see improvement in his second season. However, after the team added Diontae Johnson and Xavier Legette in the offseason, Mingo may struggle to see consistent snaps. Unless the second-year receiver can push Adam Thielen for work, Mingo may be the No. 4 receiver.
