[Leroy Hoard]

I'm going to guess it is a TE.

Vrabel?

I thought people would struggle with this . . . but yes.Mike Vrabel had 10 career receptions and 10 career TD receptions. He also had 2 receptions in the post season with 2 receiving TD, so he was a perfect 12 for 12.

I just wasn't sure if he was at 10 but knew he was very close if not.

 

[BroadwayG]

What if you up it to 30 receiving TDs?

 

[Fensalk]

I'm going to guess it is a TE.

I was going to guess Leroy Hoard.

 

[matttyl]

What if you up it to 30 receiving TDs?

...or just to 11. I would be interested in that.

If you open it waaaay up, where does Don Hutson rank?

 

[David Yudkin]

Hutson had 488 receptions to 99 TD = 4.93. So he'd rank in the Top 15 on the above list.

Never thought a non-offensive player would have enough to qualify. Rae Carruth, Yatil Green, Sylvester Morris, Desmond Howard and Thomas Lewis (first round WR picks over the last 20 year), actually have less COMBINED TD receptions than Vrabel.My vote was going to be Marc Boerighter (sp)...where did he rank?

He had 8 TD in 39 receptions.

The 8TDs on 20 receptions year was quite bizarre for a WR...420 yards of which nearly 25% was due to one reception (99 yard TD)...the whole year defied odds.

 

[David Yudkin]

Mike Sellers had a year like that a ew years ago (7 TD on 12 receptions).

Taking out guys with less than 100 receptions and less than 3 years (Gronk for instance), leaves:2 Daryl Turner wr 1984--1987 101 to 36 2.81

5 Warren Wells wr 1964--1970 158 to 42 3.76

20 Jim Mandich te 1970--1978 121 to 23 5.26

Warfield, Hayes and Collins (pretty unheralded) get the nod for most impressive I think given the years and length of careers involved.

Also, someone tell Boomer Chris Carter really can't say "all he did was catch TDs" because he's not on this list.

The "HUH?" award goes to:

9 Patrick Hape te 1997--2004 51 to 11 4.64

And Daryl Turner - whatever happened to this guy?

[zed2283]

For the pass attempts to TD ratio, I'll take Tomlinson.

 

[Joe Summer]

Was going to guess Boerigter. Some guy in my league drafted him in the 4th round the next season. "All he does is catch TDs!"

 

[wiscstlatlmia]

I'm so glad I've found a place where people enjoy spending hours looking up useless stats as much as I do lol

Great trivia question, I will use it soon, on some unsuspecting person.

Great thread, agree that a defensive player never entered my mind, though the Pats did use Vrabel very often as an eligible TE, and I do remember his catch in the Superbowl against the Panthers which I remember them touting as the first TD scored by a defensive player in a Superbowl since the Fridge.On the other side of the coin, Vrabel is 0-for 8 in stolen bottles of beer from a casino.

 

[eakfootball]

Dezmon Briscoe had 6 TDs on 35 grabs this year, which is quite a lot for a WR.

 

[Buckna]

Joel Dreessen had 6 TD's on 28 grabs this year (19 for 6 before the last 3 scoreless games.) Drove me nuts as an Owen Daniel's fantasy owner.

 

[Del Griffith]

Hutson had 488 receptions to 99 TD = 4.93. So he'd rank in the Top 15 on the above list.

What, Hutson wasn't a "regular" position player?
