Hint: he is a *very* well-known name, although perhaps not as a receiver

I confused it all --- Mike Ditka -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:56 3
- There it is! Yes, Mike Ditka--who went all Gronk on the league in 1961 with 1076 receiving yards and 12 TDs. -- nm - ML Oct 28, 11:57 2
  - Ooo, I should've gotten that but I was thinking of WR not TE. -- nm - Baron Bostwick as Brad Majors Oct 28, 12:10
  - Another interesting note: Stefon Diggs was 13 yards short in week #4 from doing the same. -- nm - ML Oct 28, 12:03
I really would have thought Anquan Boldin did that. From the way you phrased the question, my guess is Paul Hornung. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:55 1
- It looks like Boldin was 9 yards away. -- nm - David Oct 28, 12:03
Another hint: the player in question *was,* in fact, primarily a pass-catcher during his NFL career. - ML Oct 28, 11:55 1
- Hmm, Gene Upshaw was a lineman. Pat Sumerall was a kicker. I'm having a hard time figuring out possibilities. -- nm - David Oct 28, 11:58
Randy Moss -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 11:53
Jim Brown? -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:52 1
- oops...not a rookie in 1961 and I think I confused myself anyway -- nm - Jim Oct 28, 11:54
