The Untouchable Record: Who Truly Dominates NFL Receiving Yards in a Single Season?
4. 1,848 – Jerry Rice, San Francisco 49ers (1995)
One of only three pre-2000 entries in this top 10, the legendary Niners WR had quite a 1995 campaign.
During the season, he surpassed James Lofton overall for most receiving yards in NFL history – a record he still holds today – and he went on to put up his best season numbers with 1,848 yards. He also produced 15 receiving TDs and made 122 catches at 15.1 yards per catch.
San Francisco ended with a regular season record of 11-5, eventually losing in the divisional round of the playoffs to the Green Bay Packers.
