Question
Former NFL receiver Vincent Jackson died on Monday; a second-round pick in 2005, he was a standout with both the Chargers and Buccaneers, consistently getting downfield for big plays. Four times in his career, he went over 1,000 receiving yards while also averaging over 17 yards per catch. Who is the only active player who has done that (gone over 1,000 yards four times while also averaging over 17 yards per catch in each of those seasons)?
Answer
DeSean Jackson (who did it twice each with Philadelphia and Washington). Since the merger in 1970, only two other players have done this (both James Lofton and Henry Ellard had five such seasons).
