The 'NFL rookie receiving-yard leaders' quiz

Happy 23rd birthday to Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and rookie Pro Bowler in the 2024 NFL season, Brian Thomas Jr!

After an excellent rookie campaign, Thomas Jr. has struggled out of the gates in 2025. But in the Jaguars dramatic 31-28 ‘Monday Night Football,’ win over Kansas City, Thomas looked more like his rookie-self. 

The second-year LSU product caught four passes for 80 yards against Kansas City, with the most important one going for 33 yards on their game-winning touchdown drive. He also drew a critical pass interference penalty on the play before Trevor Lawrence’s dramatic scramble into the end zone in the final minute of the game. 

Thomas Jr. also caught the 100th pass of his career in primetime, doing so in just 22 games. Allen Robinson II is the only Jag to achieve the feat faster in the franchise’s history. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Thomas exploded onto the NFL scene with 87 catches on 133 targets from a combination of Lawrence and Mac Jones in 2024, posting 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns. With that being said, can you name the NFL rookies to reach the 1,000-receiving-yard milestone?

Good luck!
