I always knew how Hutson dominated but I didn't know he still holds some NFL records (well if Wikipedia stats are accurate that is)
As of the end of the 2017 NFL season, Hutson still holds the following records: most seasons leading league in pass receptions (8), most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receptions (5), most seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (7), most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (4), most seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (9), most seasons leading the league in total touchdowns (8), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (5), most seasons leading league in scoring (5, now tied), and most consecutive seasons leading league in scoring (5)
The NFL was hardly a big time passing league in his time and in 1942 he had 74 receptions for 1200 yards and 17 TDs. And to put that in to perspective the Packers only played 11 games that year.
If he played a 16 game season he would average about 108 receptions, 1800 yards, and 25 TDs.
