1. A.J. Brown rewrites the Tennessee Titans history book for rookies.

Since the Houston Oilers became the Tennessee Titans, only four other rookie wide receivers have topped 500 yards: Kenny Britt, Kendall Wright, Dorial Green-Beckham, and Tajae Sharpe.

Brown obliterated that total with his final number sitting at 1,051 yards, which is exactly 350 yards more than the new #2 on this list which is Kenny Britt a decade ago in 2009.

He also set the Titans rookie record for receiving TDs since the move with 8 receiving TDs. Again, the gap was so wide between Brown and second place that if you combined DGB and Kendall Wright’s totals (who were tied at 2nd with 4 each) they still only tie Brown’s TDs.

To say that he rewrote the record book is putting it mildly because he completely changed the standard by which all modern Titans receivers will be judged by.
