In the NFL, records aren't necessarily made to be broken. Bill Groman's rookie record of 1,473 receiving yards, for example, was set all the way back in 1960 and still stands today. Michael Strahan's single-season sacks record has stood for more than two decades, though T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers was able to tie it last season.
This doesn't mean that players don't think about breaking them. Green Bay Packers tight end Marcedes Lewis recently discussed his desire to set a new record for most seasons played by a tight end.
"This year, I'll tie the record," Lewis said ahead of his 17th campaign, per Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official website.
