He is currently #2 in receiving TDs and 11th in years. He’s been top 5 in receiving TDs four other years as well: 2021 (2nd), 2020 (4th), 2016 (tied for 4th), and 2014 (tied for 4th). He had the GOAT (thank the heavens!), but outside of that he’s done it year in and year out with Mayfield, Winston, Fitzpatrick, McCown, and Glennon. And it’s not like he’s been the lone star lined up against slouches, he’s had to compete for targets with Gronk, Vincent Jackson, AB, and Chris Godwin.
It’s true he’s never been seen as the #1 guy in the league at any point, but he’s consistently been a top 3-10 WR for 10 years. There have been a lot of guys to flash and never do anything again. Mike is the epitome of consistent top level performance… for a decade. He has the streak, and he has a ring. He’s without a doubt a HOFer.
