Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. is only eight catches away from getting 1,000 career catches. How rare is that? Only 13 other players in NFL history have reached the 1,000 catch mark. Who were they you might ask? Jerry Rice, Tony Gonzalez, Marvin Harrison and Cris Carter are the top four all time reception leaders. That is some pretty elite company.
Steve Smith Sr. can also climb up the list on all time receiving yards as well tonight against the Cleveland Browns. He can pass Reggie Wayne for the eighth most receiving yards in NFL history with 57 yards.
