Brooklyn Tigers Yards per Reception 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'.
The single-season record is 17.62, by Perry Schwartz in 1940.
Rate records use the league's own minimums: a season needs 1.875 receptions per team game with the club, a career 200+ receptions with the club.
