Another Guess Who

Posted on Sunday, August 19, 2007 at 09:27PM by Registered CommenterCFR in , , | Comments2 Comments

Career (collegiate) receptions:

Player A: 95 receptions, 1562 yards, 16.4 average, 11 touchdowns

Player B: 95 receptions, 1301 yards, 13.7 average, 13 touchdowns

Some clues:

1)Both players went to the same school
2)One is in the NFL Hall of Fame, the other is a current NFL player

Feel free to guess (or answer) in the comment section below.

Update: Drew Tater Tots rings in with the correct answer.  Player A was Lynn Swann, Player B was Reggie Bush.  Hard to believe, but both shared the same number of career receptions despite Swann being a receiver and Bush a tailback.

Nicely done!

I thought it was interesting that both players had the same number of collegiate receptions yet the catches were of secondary importance to Bush.

Speaks to the evolution of the game in terms of pass attempts and use of certain tailbacks as receivers who can catch more than a dump pass.
