Anquan Boldin needs 40 yards for 5,000 (career) (1 Viewer)

[azgroover]

Received this fun fact with my weekly Cardinals email.

Anquan Boldin will appear in his 62nd career game this week vs. Detroit and the receiver needed just 40 yards to reach 5,000 receiving yards for his career. If he reaches the milestone vs. Detroit, he will pass Torry Holt as the fifth fastest receiver in NFL history to accomplish the feat. Below is a list of receivers who have reached 5,000 yards the quickestlayer Team # of GamesLance Alworth--San Diego Chargers--52Charley Henningan--Houston Oilers--59Randy Moss--Minnesota Vikings--59Jerry Rice--San Francisco 49ers--61Torry Holt--St. Louis Rams--63Boldin currently sits at 4,960 yards on 375 catches in his 61 career games.In 2006, Boldin became the fastest receiver in NFL history to reach 300 career receptions, reaching the record in his 47th game (@ Oakland 10/22). The following week at Green Bay (10/29), Boldin tied Jerry Rice and Charley Hennigan as the third fastest receivers to reach 4,000 career receiving yards. Boldin reached 100 and 200 receptions the quickest in history as well, reaching those records in his 16th and 34th games.

I was referring to the fact that he's missed a lot of games, yet comes back strong and still produces.
