Local broadcast affiliates. Seasons Current record: Larry Johnson, Receptions: Charley Hennigan, Multiple Hennigan seasons appear on this list. This one did not result in the Oilers winning a championship, but their top receiver's receptions would be the AFL-NFL standard for more than 20 years.
But by , no other player joined the catch club. Hennigan is not a Hall of Famer, but George Blanda's speedy target produced two of the greatest seasons in the history of the wide receiver position.
Broken by: Art Monk, One of the game's greatest possession receivers was the first to join the AFLers in the reception club, compiling in his lone first-team All-Pro season. A first-round pick, Monk teamed with diminutive Washington wideouts Charlie Brown and Alvin Garrett during the team's back-to-back Super Bowl seasons. Injuries removed both "Fun Bunch" Monk mates from the squad's equation, putting more on the future Hall of Famer's shoulders.
Current record: Michael Thomas, Receiving yards: Charley Hennigan, To contextualize Hennigan's second-season dominance, it took 34 years for this record to fall. And only five players -- all Hall of Famers or future Canton bust recipients -- have recorded more receiving yards in a season, and they did so in a friendlier passing era.
Hennigan started his season with five yard games, including a yard rampage in a tie with the Patriots, and topped twice in the second half. He led the AFL by yards. But the San Francisco receiver cyborg dropped a yard masterpiece on a Monday night against the Vikings and ended up with 1, yards. Bruce, only in his second season and working with Chris Miller as opposed to Steve Young , put up yards in Week 17 and ended with 1, yards.
Rice did this at age 33 and with Young out for five games, though this probably does not rank among his top 10 statistical achievements. Current record: 1, Calvin Johnson, Receiving TDs: Don Hutson, ; Elroy Hirsch, ; Bill Groman, Two players on historically productive pass offenses and one of sports' great outliers shared this record for a while.
The Packer legend retired with a cool 63 more TD catches than his closest peer. Hirsch matched Hutson with 17 TD receptions for a Rams offense that averaged Broken by: Mark Clayton, While Miami's "Marks Brothers" receiving tandem is remembered as a pair, the team had higher hopes for Mark Duper -- a second-round pick -- than Clayton Round 8, initially. But the 5-foot-9 NFL sophomore showed he would become a longtime Dan Marino target in when he caught 18 touchdown passes in Marino's record-smashing season.
Clayton only needed 15 games to break the year-old receiving TD mark, but he entered the Dolphins' Monday-night finale two short. Marino and Clayton hooked up three times in a win over the Cowboys, with the record-setter coming on a yard game-winner, cementing a Dolphins season.
Current record: 23 Randy Moss, Receiving yards by a tight end: Jackie Smith, A true specimen at the tight end position as a young player, Smith was in his fifth season when he notched his only 1,yard year. The Hall of Famer made it count, totaling 1, yards and doing so on only 56 catches. That is a cool For reference, Travis Kelce has topped out at The Cardinals went just in , but Smith did what he could for the struggling franchise. The five-time Pro Bowler caught a career-high nine touchdowns that year.
Though known unfairly for a Super Bowl XIII drop, Smith retired with 7, receiving yards -- 2,plus more than the next-closest tight end. Broken by: Kellen Winslow, The prototype for the modern tight end, Winslow broke through immediately and gave the Chargers an unparalleled weapon. The first-round pick stepped right into the Bolts' pass-crazed offense and piled up 1, receiving yards in his second year. The Mizzou product broke Smith's record on the season's final Monday night, toasting the defending champion Steelers with a season-high 10 receptions and yards.
Current record: 1, Travis Kelce, All-purpose yards: Terry Metcalf, One of the most electric players of his era, Metcalf shined on the two Cardinals teams that made the playoffs in the mids. His third season proved to be his best, and it stands out for versatility.
Louis to an season and the NFC East title. The Cards used Metcalf as a ball carrier yards , receiver , kick returner , and punt returner He scored 13 touchdowns -- at least one via each variety -- that year, the peak of Cardinal football in St.
James did not match Metcalf on the ground, but the pound back became the first pure running back to exceed 1, receiving yards. The second-year weapon totaled 1, receiving yards and finished with 2, all-purpose.
These gains did not result in a TD spree, with James producing eight six receiving. And Roger Craig's 1,, slate overshadowed James' work. But the "Little Train" had big moments, scoring two plus-yard TDs in a shootout win over the Bengals and added a yard OT walk-off against the Raiders a month later. Current record: 2, Sproles, Field goals made: Jim Turner, Responsible for two of the top three field goal totals in the game era, Turner held this less publicized record until the mids.
Helping the Jets to Super Bowl III, and then factoring into their upset win heavily, the straight-on kicker made 34 regular-season field goals. He added five more in the Jets' two postseason games, including three in the team's Super Bowl conquest. He nearly matched this season a year later, recording 32 makes.
Broken by: Ali Haji-Sheikh, While overshadowed by Lawrence Taylor's exploits, the Giants' rookie kicker soared to All-Pro acclaim for an otherwise forgettable team. Haji-Sheikh broke through for 35 field goals, missing just seven in a volume and efficiency display.
The Giants settled for three a lot, with Haji-Sheikh making multiple field goals in 12 games. He finished the year with a 5-for-6 showing, in a loss to Washington, to break Turner's record.
