A couple of weeks ago, Hunter Renfrow joined some elite company in the Raiders’ record books. He joined Tim Brown and Jerry Rice as the only ever Raiders wide receivers to record 90 catches in a season.
Well, through 16 games, Renfrow has joined more elite company. The reliable slot receiver has a catch rate of 80.5% which is the second-highest over the past thirty years. The only one higher is two-time All-Pro Michael Thomas.

Renfrow is coming off one of his best games of the season in which he caught a go-ahead touchdown and the catch that put the Raiders in a position to win the game in the final seconds.
In the process, he reached 99 catches on the season, putting him in sole possession of third-most catches in a single season in Raiders history, just five catches behind Tim Brown for the most catches by a Raiders wide receiver (104).
