The Untouchable Record: Who Truly Dominates NFL Receiving Yards in a Single Season?
In recent years, Justin Jefferson and Cooper Kupp have gone closest put couldn’t catch Megatron’s outrageous production in 2012.
Most Receiving Yards in an NFL Season
1. 1,964 yards – Calvin Johnson, Detroit Lions (2012)
The man also known as ‘Megatron’ earned that moniker in the 2012 season as he so regularly caught the ball that you would be forgiven for thinking he had some sort of robotic advantage.
Johnson only scored five touchdowns but was so often Matthew Stafford’s go-to option. He was targeted 204 times (fourth all time) and made 122 receptions at an average of 16.1 yards per reception. He was also responsible for 92 first downs.
