Calvin Johnson led the league in receiving last season with 1,681 yards. Johnson is fourth in receiving yards this season behind A.J. Green, Wes Welker, and Reggie Wayne, but Johnson is 2nd in yards per game as the Lions have had their bye week while the Bengals and Patriots have not.
If Johnson can lead the league in receiving yards again, he’d become just the third person since the merger to accomplish that feat. Which brings us to today’s trivia question.
Who was the last player to lead the league in receiving yards in consecutive seasons?
Chad Johnson led the AFC in receiving yards in four straight seasons from 2003 to 2006, but he only lead the league in receiving yards once in his career.
Andre Johnson gained 1,575 receiving yards in 2008 and 1,569 yards in 2009, earning All-Pro honors in both seasons. Now he’s stuck playing for a team that won’t pass the ball because they’re so good.
