INTERESTING HOW DONALD DRIVER COMPARES TO THE TOP 50 WIDE RECEIVERS ALL TIME IN RECEPTIONS, RECEIVING YARDS, AND TD'S
He's not in any of the top 50....YET....but he might be closing in
RECEPTIONS
DRIVER ---421
#20- Raymond Barry--631
48. H Carmichael 590
49. F Biletnikoff 589
50. M Allen 587
THOUGHTS- Over the last three years Driver has averaged 87 receptions per year.....last year 92. If he goes at that rate for three more years he would be right around the top 20 all time
RECEIVING YARDS
DRIVER 5929 Yards
10- Joiner--12,156
47. M Carrier 8763
48. J Stallworth 8723
49. J Morton 8719
50. *T Gonzalez 8710
THOUGHTS: Over the past three years Donald Driver has averaged about 1,224 yards per season. At that pace, three more very good seasons might put him in the top 50 all time.
RECEIVING TD's
DRIVER 36
30. *R Smith 68
31. A Monk 68
32. R Berry 68
33. C Branch 67
34. J Smith 67
35. J Orr 66
36. R Green 66
37. C Joiner 65
38. G Clark 65
39. S Randle 65
40. S Sharpe 65
41. H Ellard 65
42. B Mitchell 65
43. M Irvin 65
44. *K Johnson 64
45. *T Holt 64
46. C Pickens 63
47. A Miller 63
48. J Stallworth 63
49. T Mathis 63
50. S Sharpe 62
51. *K McCardell 62
52. H Moore 62
Driver 36
Over the past three years Driver has averaged just under 8 TD's per season.
As you can see there are a lot of players in the low 60's. If DD could play three more solid seasons averaging 8 TD's per year and then one more average year he would find himself in the top 50 range and probably in the 40's.
BOTTOM LINE:
I think nearly everybody loves Donald Driver, especially Packer fans. He was certainly a late bloomer, but one who stays in incredible shape and his play does not seem to be falling off at all. If he can have four more stellar years, he will find himself on many of these all time lists........it would help if Favre hangs around longer IMO as well.
Could Donald Driver find himself in the Hall of Fame ? With 4-5 more years of numbers it is possible.
