Michael Thomas Becomes Fastest Player to Reach 500 Receptions in NFL History

Former Ohio State wide receiver Michael Thomas set a new NFL record today, reaching the 500-catch milestone faster than any other player in league history.

Thomas hauled in catch No. 500 in his 69th game.

The elite pace shattered the previous mark of 500 catches in the 80th game held by Anquan Bolden and Julio Jones.

Keenan Allen (83) and Antonio Brown (84) round out the top-5 on the list.

The record-breaker came on a 6-yard catch from Taysom Hill.

Can't. Guard. Mike. Nice.

Love you coach thank you for everything youre apart of my why!
