Question
Among the 113 wide receivers who’ve caught at least 500 passes since the merger in 1970, who’s the only one who’s scored on fewer than 4 percent of his career catches?
Answer
Danny Amendola. Amendola has caught 547 passes, with just 21 touchdowns – 3.8 percent. Only one other wide receiver is under 5 percent (Frank Sanders – 24 of 507 = 4.7%). Of the 11 wide receivers at 6 percent or lower, four were slot receivers who at some point in their career played with Tom Brady in New England – Julian Edelman, Troy Brown, Wes Welker and Amendola).
