Underutilized for PPR leagues. Could have been much better spread out over another 45 receptionsSIAP but I didn’t see anything for the GOAT. He needs a thread.
In 1987 he had 22 touchdowns on 65 receptions. My God.
I heard his preferred destination was TB. Unless they sign Lance Alworth first.Packers should sign him.

First All Time with 197 Rec Touchdowns, 2nd is Randy Moss with 156 for comparison, 3rd Owens-153, next after that falls to 130.
First All Time with the most Touchdowns 208, Emmitt is next with 175.
First All Time in Receiving Yds(22,895) by a wide margin of over 5,000 yards, that person is Fitz who is ready to retire. There is no one within 10,000 yds of him after that.
After Fitz, the next active WR is Julio Jones with 12,896...there's lots of names in between but they are long retired.I believe your last stat needs correcting.
In 12 games. Because there was a player strike. 22 TDs in 12 games.SIAP but I didn’t see anything for the GOAT. He needs a thread.

Doesn’t say active, sorry I misunderstoodAfter Fitz, the next active WR is Julio Jones with 12,896...there's lots of names in between but they are long retired.
Note to combine: less emphasis on 40 times, more on brick catching abilities.4.71 40 time. Too slow, he'll never amount to anything.
No sweatDoesn’t say active, sorry I misunderstood
Stats-wise, the 1st 10 years of his career (age 23-32) he was one of the greatest receivers of all-time. Last 10 years of his career (age 33-42) he was basically Michael Irvin.Correct. Two hall of famers. Even-year Jerry was the best receiver of his era, and odd-year Jerry is a HOFer too.
RiversI don't think returning from an ACL tear in the same season was done before or since.
And hill running.Leroy Hoard said:Note to combine: less emphasis on 40 times, more on brick catching abilities.
The guy is without question one of the highest effort/highest talent players ever. My favorite story involves the same upbringing that involved the brick catching.And hill running.
This write-up describes his workout, which he was still doing at 48.

In 1997 (at age 35), Jerry Rice tore his ACL when he was face-masked by Warren Sapp on an end-around in Week 1.
Returned in Week 16 against Denver and catches a TD (iirc I think he broke his kneecap on the catch)
I don't think returning from an ACL tear in the same season was done before or since.
Played 7 more seasons after.
Simply the greatest. Thank you for starting this thread so we can share the memories.
I guess I should have been more specific. Rice underwent surgery to fix his torn ACL and returned the same season, which I should have stated more clearly.Rivers
