Chase Claypool only needs one. Two would be really special and three would be outstanding.
With one touchdown in today’s Steelers-Jaguars matchup, the rookie receiver will tie for third-most touchdowns through the first 10 games. Claypool’s scores currently stand at nine — seven receiving and two rushing.
Should Megatron score twice today, he’ll surpass Chicago Bears’ Harlon Hill (1954) and Houston Oilers’ Bill Groman (1960) and join Green Bay Packers’ Billy Howton (1952) with 11 touchdowns.
If Claypool finds paydirt three times (hey, we’ve seen it before), he’ll lead all rookies in touchdowns with 12.
But why rush history? Chase has seven games to make it happen.
.@Vikings WR Justin Jefferson (@JJettas2) leads all rookies with 762 receiving yards, while @Steelers WR @ChaseClaypool leads all rookies with 9 TDs.
Both are playing in their 10th career games on Sunday and can continue to make history. pic.twitter.com/ez2v4NPtqU
