Pass catching isn't really that important when it comes to actually catching passes....especially at RB....Ive had 11 pass catching RBs with career stats of:
323 catches
70.2 reception%
While a 100 pass catch WR had
355 catches
70.3 reception%
I think pass catching becomes more important during medium and even more for long....but let's face it the majority of successful passes come from the short passing in this version.
