Not really sure if that information means anything, would be helpful if there was a comparison to years prior. Just from cursory look IMO all it tells you is the type of offense they ran in college, like a QB who only plays out of shotgun and doesn't play under Center.
Compared to others Aiyuk didn't get targets/yards on In routes, Slant, and Crossing routes. You have to account for ASU had a true freshman QB with an elite RB, every team we faced stacked the box with 8. So of course Aiyuk was used either on screens or deep routes.
Those stats are over the course of the past two seasons.
So?
Do you know ASU offense very well?
Teams stacked the box the prior year and Aiyuk was almost exclusively screens in his firs year
Edit: the routes a WR runs has a huge deal to do with the offense a team runs. To extrapolate that data into what a WR can do in the NFL is a huge mistake
I'm not saying aiyuk is a gem or not. I just think looking at that data is mostly meaningless
