Josh Gordon also became the first receiver in NFL history to have 200+ receiving yards in back-to-back games in 2013!

[matthewcox]

Eventhough he was a one hit wonder, the fact that Pryor had that one season shows the type of athlete he was

[carmenthecarman]

Maybe not a one year wonder, but I've never seen someone rise and fall as fast as Victor Cruz!!!

[ATLBRZY]

I could’ve sworn Terrell Pryor had a more productive season than 1k yards & 4 TD’s when he broke out with the Browns. That goes to show how low expectations were for him lol

[worldsgreatestdude]

Don’t forget that Allen Hurns had touchdowns on his first 2 catches in his rookie debut vs the eagles

[jeffreykoch]

i feel like brandon lloyd randomly leading the league in recieving should be on this list.

Laurent Robinson recorded 89 receptions for 1000 yards between 2007 and 2010 playing for the Falcons and the Rams . After receiving 1 catch for 18 yards for the chargers in 2011, he was traded to the cowboys where he caught 54 passes for 858 yards and 11 touchdowns in only 10 games. This earned him a 5 year 32 million dollar contract with Jacksonville, where he suffered 4 concussions and only played a total of 7 games, and was forced to retire

Can’t believe y’all forgot Brandon Lloyd’s 2010 campaign

[shrayjain]

Sidney Rice honorable mention, he was great that one year with Favre

[jeremyluckenbill]

Video was great but I wanted to bring to your attention the season Mike Furrey had for the Detroit Lions in 2006; 98 receptions for 1, 086 yards and 6 touchdowns. In 2005 he was a successful two way player starting most of that season as free safety.

1:15 thats not devante parker 😭 thats tyquan 💀

[CKpremium]

Josh Gordon is definitely one of the biggest “what ifs” in nfl history.. I think it’s highly likely that had Josh Gordon never had any of these “off the field / substance abuse / mental health” issues he would’ve been one of the best receivers in the NFL throughout his career.

[kylek]

Instantly I thought of Brandon Lloyd, he had a successful career but randomly in 2010 him and Kyle Orton were an unstoppable duo and he put up 1400+ yards and 10 tds which ended up being his only 1000 yard season

[michaelwallis]

Crazy you left off Kenny Golladay from the Detroit Lions. He had a season where he finished with over 1, 400 yards and led the league with 11 touchdowns.

[Lancers]

Surprised that Nelson Agholor is not on the list.

[jtwk]

Chris Matthews is the epitome of a one year wonder wr

[matthewmier]

Laurent Robinson 2011 Cowboys season should definitely be on here

[XavierCoolDude]

Ive made some nice picks in fantasy with Edwards in 07 and Hurns/ Robinson 15 but made a huge whiff with Oryor in 2017 with Wash where he couldn’t catch a cold.

[HBFLGBlanco]

Josh Gordon would probably be a Hall Of Famer if they just let him smoke his weed in peace 😂

[lukebradshaw]

Any Eagles fans remember Travis Fulgham. We thought he was going to be a star.
