Re: Every team’s longest completion ever
Shout out to the following WRs that people may have forgotten about
Robert Brooks - legit serious deep threat for the Pack; that 1995 season went 102/167 for 1497 yards and 13 TD and was a Pro Bowl snub. I believe he was once Madden's fastest rated player.
Andre' Davis - in 2004 he only caught 16 passes... for 416 yards
Tony Martin - 11 year career, four 1000 yard seasons, 9065 career yards and 56 TD. Like many burners, he caught about half his targets.
Mike Quick - of course he'd make the list. 5x Pro Bowler, 2x All Pro, career 17.8 YPR, he absolutely lived up to his name for the Iggles. Note that play was a Walk-Off and is one of Philly's most iconic plays.
Pat Studstill - one year wonder did more kicking for the Lions than playmaking at flanker... but in 1966 he caught 67 passes for 1266 yards and 5 TD. This was 1966!!
Michael Haynes - Featured player for the Jerry Glanville Run-And-Shoot Falcons; had the longest reception in the NFL two consecutive seasons (89 yards in 1992, 98 yards in 1993) and led the league in YPR (22.4) in 1991.
John Taylor - This was the guy in San Francisco before Jerry Rice took over. 2x Pro Bowls, 3x Super Bowls, 2nd Team All 1980s
Wesley Walker - Yes the Jets had somebody in the 1980s besides Al Toon. 2x Pro Bowls, 1x All Pro, 8306 career yards and a hefty 71 receiving TD
Haywood Jeffires - the second Run-And-Shoot WR on the list, I remember (vaguely) this guy being a stud for Warren Moon. 3x Pro Bowl, 1x All Pro, 6334 yards and 50 TD. One guy featured however that was NOT known as a burner, he only averaged 11.8 YPR.
Some of these other guys go without saying.
PS: RIP Vincent Jackson

Re: Every team’s longest completion ever
Leave it to the Bucs for their longest completion to not even be a TD

Re: Every team’s longest completion ever
The odd thing about the Roethlisberger 97 yard TD pass to Juju is... that they did it twice, making Juju the only WR with two 95+ yard TD's. Here's the other one (I know you probably don't care because it's the Steelers but it's just strange it happened twice).

Re: Every team’s longest completion ever
OK, thanks. That makes more sense... Bc
P.S. - Sharpe's TD was a beautiful thing though. I remember that and this :
