Trivia for March 27, 2018

Question

The Bengals selected John Ross with the 9th pick in the draft last April, but he didn’t catch any passes in his first year. In the previous 20 drafts, five other receivers were chosen in the first round but didn’t catch any passes in their first season. Of those five, who is the only one ever caught more than 3 TD passes in a season?

Answer

Robert Meachem. He caught only 12 passes and 4 TDs in his second season, but he was a big factor for the Saints in 2009, with 9 TD catches and a touchdown on a fumble return at Washington. The other four first-rounders who didn’t catch any passes in their first season: Kevin White (2015), Breshad Perriman (2015), A.J. Jenkins (San Francisco, 2012) and Yatil Green (Miami, 1997).
