Can’t Catch a Break from Canton

Can’t Catch a Break from Canton

CANTON’S WATCHING Andre Johnson, Texans, age 32. Second alltime in receiving yards per game at 81.6. Injuries seem the only thing that might slow him. (Damian Strohmeyer for Sports Illustrated)

CANTON’S WATCHING Anquan Boldin, 49ers, age 32. The fastest player in history to reach 600 receptions—he did it in 98 games. Numbers dropped a bit in Baltimore but should pick up out West. (Simon Bruty/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Brandon Marshall. Bears, age 29. His 118 catches last season are tied for 10th alltime. Mercurial but productive paired with Jay Cutler. (Al Tielemans/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Calvin Johnson, Lions, age 27. Had a monster 2012—122 catches for an NFL record 1,964 receiving yards; 2K is the goal for 2013. (John Biever/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals, age 29. Pro’s pro keeps on producing the specatular despite the QB and coordinator carousel in Arizona. (John W. McDonough/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Randy Moss, free agent, age 36. A Canton lock despite a personality that rubs some the wrong way. Second alltime in touchdown catches, with 156. (Lou Capozzola/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Reggie Wayne, Colts, age 34. 968 receptions. Luck be with him—his 106 catches and 1,355 yards in 2012 were second-most in his 12 seasons. (Peter Read Miller/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Steve Smith, Panthers, age 34. Smith’s consistent, averaging 77 catches over the last eight seasons. Three more like that and he’ll reach 1,000. (David E. Klutho/SI)

CANTON’S WATCHING Wes Welker, Broncos, age 32. He’s less than halfway to Rice’s 1,549 but seems made to catch passes from Peyton Manning. (Damian Strohmeyer for Sports Illustrated)
