Some records feel untouchable, and for 37 years, Pro Football Hall of Famer Tim Brown’s 1988 rookie season stood alone as the gold standard for all-purpose yards production. That changed this week as Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike etched his name into the NFL record book by surpassing Brown for the most all-purpose yards ever by a rookie.
In doing so, Dike didn’t just top a long-standing number. He redefined what immediate impact looks like in the NFL, turning a promising debut season into a historic one less than one week after earning a selection to the 2026 NFL Pro Bowl.
