RuskieTitan Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 With how open the NFL game has become, and how receivers have an easier time against defenses... you'd still need a receiver to play 2 decades at over 1k receiving yards per season to have a shot at breaking Rice's record. Absolutely absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely absurd. Yep. Antonio Brown has basically been right around the NFL lead in yards since his age 25 season (2, 1, 2, 5, 1 in the NFL, all in the top 50 all time sans '16) and he still has basically no chance to catch Rice. If you assume he matches Tim Brown (the guy with the most career receiving yards after turning 30) and add that to his current totals,  he'd still be over 3K yards short of Rice. A guy with Brown's career trajectory having next to no chance is crazy. That seems like it's unbreakable until more games are added to the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's impressive but still not as shocking to me as Gore being 4th all time in rushing. When I saw that stat my mouth dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iknowcool Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Julio Jones has a distant shot too. Got over 10,000 today and he's not 30 yet. It'd be difficult still, but he's always been a yardage monster along with being an absurd athlete. Heck had he not been limited to 5 games in 2013, he probably would have hit his usual 1400+ which would "only" have him sitting back 11,000 before 30 years old.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
