Factoid
I posted the tight end information earlier. Below is the data for the wide receivers (at least, those who caught 5-plus TDs last year).
Terrell Owens, DeSean Jackson, Hakeem Nicks and Mike Wallace were the four who averaged over 35 yards per scoring catch last year. (This chart shows only touchdown receptions, so Jackson’s punt and rushing TDs aren’t included).
Two receivers averaged under 10 yards per scoring catch last year: Laveranues Coles and Smith Smith of the Giants.
