Happy 47th birthday to two-time Super Bowl champion, Super Bowl XXXIX MVP and 11-year NFL veteran wide receiver, Deion Branch!
Branch was selected in the second round of the 2002 NFL Draft out of Louisville by the New England Patriots, and he played a bit role in 13 games as a rookie. He caught 43 passes for 489 yards and two touchdowns in his first professional campaign before establishing himself as a starter in 2003. He caught 57 passes in the regular season before hauling in 10 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown to win the franchise’s first Lombardi Trophy.
He was limited to just nine games in the 2004 regular season, but produced once again in the playoffs, culminating in a 11-catch, 133-yard performance in Super Bowl XXXIX en route to Super Bowl MVP honors.
Branch never reached 1,000 yards in a season nor was he named to a single Pro Bowl, but he’ll always be remembered by Pats fans for his role in the beginning of the Tom Brady dynasty.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. Branch’s 64 receptions in the NFL playoffs are tied for 23rd most all-time. With that being said, can you name every player to catch at least 60 passes in their NFL playoff career?
Good luck!
