Celebrating 50 Years Of Broncos Football, Fun Fact #5

As we continue to celebrate 5o years of Denver Broncos football, here is today's Bronco fun fact:
End Lionel Taylor caught 543 passes in just seven seasons for the Broncos from 1960-1966.
Taylor was the Broncos' team MVP in 1963, 1964 and 1965, and an AFL All-Star in 1960, 1961, 1962 and 1965. Taylor was the first professional football receiver ever to make 100 catches in a single season, accomplishing the feat in only 14 games (1961). He had four seasons with over 1,000 yards receiving, and averaged 84.7 catches per year from 1960 to 1965, then the highest six-year total in professional football history. It should be noted this was extremely rare back then to get 100 grabs, or 1,000 yards.
