Jarvis Landry set an NFL record on Thursday night. In the second quarter of the Browns game against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, Landry hauled in a 6-yard pass from Baker Mayfield.
That catch was the 529th of Landry’s career, now in his sixth NFL season. And with that, he broke a tie with Texans All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins for the most receptions by any player in the first six seasons of his career. He entered the night tied with former Steeler Antonio Brown and one ahead of Hall of Famer Randy Moss.
It was Landry’s third reception of the night, including a touchdown catch to put the Browns up 14-0. That was the 29th TD of Landry’s career, which spans both Miami and Cleveland.
Most catches all time in a player’s first six NFL seasons:
1. Jarvis Landry: 529 (and counting)
2. DeAndre Hopkins: 528
3. Antonio Brown: 526
4. Randy Moss: 525
5. Larry Fitzgerald: 524— Field Yates (@FieldYates) November 15, 2019
