Question

In the Super Bowl era, who’s the only player who’s caught 10-plus touchdowns in a season despite finishing with fewer than 500 receiving yards? This player is retired; he scored 12 touchdowns in his notable season (which later helped him land a big free agent deal from another team). The two notable teams here, of course, were originally scheduled to play against each other this week (that's a hint).

Answer

Julius Thomas. For Denver in 2014, he caught only 43 passes for 489 yards, but with 12 TDs. He later signed with Miami (but never had much success there). The Broncos were originally scheduled to play the Dolphins this week, but that game has now been pushed back to later in the year.
