Question
Cliff Branch joined the Hall of Fame this summer. During his career, he caught 73 passes for 1,289 yards in playoff games. Who are the only three wide receivers all-time who finished their careers with even more receiving yards in the postseason?
Answer
Jerry Rice, Julian Edelman and Michael Irvin. Two tight ends also have more receiving yards (Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce). Branch in the postseason averaged 17.7 yards per catch. Among players with at least 50 catches (in the playoffs) only three with at least 50 catches have a higher yards-per-catch average, and all are already in the Hall of Fame: Paul Warfield, Randy Moss and John Stallworth.
