Unless there's another Brandon Marshall I'm not aware of, pfr has him at 11,273 career receiving yards. That's around 400 fewer than megatron.

In 1 less season(17 total games less) with more TDs and and a greater yards per catch and yards per game.

Edit..
Megatron that is.

Tony Gonzalez and Steve Smith would be answers to my type of trivia
Haha yep you got it TO. The most surprising thing is he has at least 2 TDs against every team.

Well, yeah, when you've spent your whole career with one team, you aren't going to do ANYTHING against all 32.

Also need to consider the offenses. Detroit has had pretty much only a vertical passing game in his career. Stafford pretty much only wanted to throw downfield and the best RB he had was Bush who had 1000 one year [emoji23]

Bears have informed Matt Forte that they won't be re-signing him and he'll be a FA.

If Beast Mode truly does retire, I think he'd be a nice fit in Seattle.

Or anywhere for that matter. He's a solid player.

Rams cut Laurinaitis. Have to believe he'll land on his feet somewhere.

I noticed that. Bummer for me; I always liked him a lot. One of those steady, reliable players who could block well and be a good escape valve for Ben. Kind of "glue guy" player who had value beyond stats.

Damn...didn't see this coming.

Heath will be missed, always a solid player, although he did get fumbleitis for a bit a few years ago.

Time for Jesse James to step up, I liked what I saw from him last season.

Good for him.

Selfishly wanted him around as long as Ben was but I understand completely.

Don't think he's committed any felonies so might not make it.

Zeke runs 4.46 and then 4.48. Pretty good for 225.

I actually thought he might run faster than that. What really shocked me was Henry's 4.52. Must have been wind aided downhill.

I heard Bosa's interview at lunch. He had me and the reports cracking up. Dude is like Spicoli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." When he came up to the podium and they announced his name his first words were "Sup?"

Henry at 4.57 is ridiculous at his weight.

He still doesn't have the lateral quickness to succeed in the NFL.

Real sad to hear about Jaylon Smith. Probably missing all of next season with nerve damage to his knee.

Have to assume that some team is going to get a huge steal getting him in the 3rd or 4th round. And lucky for him, he had a $5mil insurance policy that starts to kick in if he drops out of the first round.
