‘Next up: Thurman Thomas, the former Buffalo Bills running back, on behalf of former teammate Andre Reed. Reed caught 951 passes in his career before retiring in 2000. That’s more than Monk, who retired as the career leader in receptions (940) in 1995. Jerry Rice now holds that record with 1,549. One knock against the Bills is that despite making four straight Super Bowls, they never won one. Reed has already missed three chances to get in, and receivers such as Rice, Cris Carter and Tim Brown are all ahead of him on the receptions chart-and could get in before him. “I hope it doesn’t take him 13 years to get in,” Thomas said.’
