Good guess, but unfortunately not in 3 consecutive seasons... he had passing TDs in 5 different seasons... recorded the 3category TDs in 3 seasons: '79, '83 & '85...

Jerry Rice.

Good guess, but Rice only has 1 passing TD in his career... in '95... where he had one TD in all 3 categories

We have a winner!Did it in '87: 1/7/1 - '88: 1/5/1 and '89: 1/13/5... obviously for the Saints 
(Pro Bowl in '89 when he was RB1 that year)

Interesting to note that Hilliard missed it in '86 (his rookie season) because he didn't have a receiving TD!... he would have done it for 4 consecutive years...
Tomlinson only missed it in '02 (no passing attempt) and in '04 where he attemped only 2 passes... he can match Dilliard's 3 consecutive seasons if he gets a TD in all 3 categories this year...
Payton missed it in '82 & '84 because he didn't have a receving TD!... tossed TD passes in 4 consecutive seasons ('82 to '85)...

Now, for the real connaisseur...
Which teammates (i.e. same team, same year), since the merger, are the only one to record a TD in all 3 categories?

It's not too late... just wrong...Is it too late to guess Greg Bell?

LT only has to catch a TD pass in the last 15 games to become the second player after Dalton Hilliard to have at least a passing TD, a rushing TD and a receiving TD in 3 consecutive years... I think we can assume he'll get it...

1983 Chicago BearsWalter Payton
6 Rushing
2 Receiving
3 Passing
Jim McMahon
2 Rushing
1 Receiving
12 Passing
Payton & McMahon were my first guess but I looked them up to provide the stats. I remember a McMahon receiving TD (I don't know if it was this one or the one in '85) because he dove and was literally horizontal in the air as he crossed the goal line catching the pass with nothing but his outstretched fingertips. I still can't believe he held on when he hit the ground, one of the best grabs I've ever seen.

Alright, who was the last team to have a QB, a RB, and a WR throw a TD in the same season?
