Congrats to all the players but in particular Rice on being #1 and of course P. Manning and Johnny Unitas for both being in the top 10 as Colts QB's! |
On the radio this morning it was mentioned that Don Hutson had 99 career TD receptions. In the first 30 years of the NFL, the 2nd closest guy to him had 33. That record stood for 46 years. Talk about being the dominant player at your position.
I would have to put Jim Brown ahead of Jerry Rice. Everyone and his dog knew Brown was getting the ball, and he still ran for 5 yards a carry over the course of a 9 year career.
