Brooklyn Tigers Receiving Yards Leaders
Career totals with the Brooklyn Tigers and the best single seasons in club history. Includes the 2026 season through October 19: these records are rebuilt every night, so a mark set yesterday is here this morning. Figures before 1932 are reconstructions; the NFL kept no official statistics. Merged into the Boston Yanks for 1945; that season is the Yanks'.
Perry Schwartz holds the Brooklyn Tigers career record with 1,614 receiving yards. The single-season record is 550, by Perry Schwartz in 1939.
