Question
Brandin Cooks caught 9 TDs back in 2015. Since then, he’s scored 8, 7, 6 and 2 TDs. Four years in a row he’s scored fewer touchdowns. Since the merger in 1970, only six players have had such a streak that’s even a season longer. Who was the last such player? He was a third-round pick out of Grambling State in 1991; during his career, he had four 1,000-yard receiving seasons.
Answer
Jake Reed (who was a very productive receiver until the Vikings selected Randy Moss, shoving him into a lesser role). Others who have gone five years with fewer touchdowns each time: Running backs Chuck Foreman, Lydell Mitchell and Wayne Morris, and wide receivers Harold Carmichael and Drew Hill.
