Following a monster game in the season finale, the second-round pick became the youngest player in the history of the NFL to record at least 1000 all-purpose yards in a season.

All-purpose yards, of course, go beyond receiving yards, although he did not come too far from reaching the 1000-yard mark on that alone.
