With one game left to go in the regular season, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool is within striking distance of a number of franchise rookie records. Sitting at 57 receptions, he needs just five on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns to break Troy Edwards’ record of 61, set in 1999, for example.
Louis Lipps also owns the team’s rookie record for receiving touchdowns in a season with nine. Claypool has eight heading into the finale, so he needs one to tie and two to pass. He does have two games with two or more receiving touchdowns. Lipps and Franco Harris share the rookie scoring record at 11.
