Question
Odell Beckham has caught touchdown passes from Eli Manning and Baker Mayfield. They were formerly No. 1 overall picks. Now he has the opportunity to maybe catch a scoring pass from a third such quarterback – Matthew Stafford. Who are the only other two active players who have already done this (catch TD passes from three different quarterbacks who were selected No. 1 overall)? The players have the same initials.
Answer
DeSean Jackson and David Johnson. For Jackson: Vick, Winston, Stafford. For Johnson: Palmer, Murray, Bradford. Until recently, Darren Fells (Stafford, Mayfield, Palmer) was in this group, but he asked for his release from the Lions and is now on Tampa Bay’s practice squad – so not an active player at this moment. Had Fells stayed with Detroit and caught a touchdown from Jared Goff at some point, he could have been the first player in league history to make it up to four former No. 1 quarterbacks. Retired players who caught touchdowns from three: Darrius Heyward-Bey, Russell Shepard, Louis Murphy, Jason Witten and Brandon Myers.
