Chase Claypool On Cusp Of Breaking Franchise Rookie TD Record, But Has Tough Sledding For NFL Rookie WR Record

With 10 touchdowns through his first 10 career games, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool has done something that no other rookie at his position has done in 60 years, which is rather remarkable. In fact, since 1970, there are only 12 wide receivers who have even scored 10 touchdowns in their rookie season, period.

With Claypool adding his name to the list, the Steelers are now one of three teams with two wide receivers to have done it. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are one of them. Mike Williams had 11 touchdowns as a rookie in 2010, and Mike Evans had 12 in 2014.
