All Chase Claypool does is score touchdowns. The second-round rookie draft pick now has six on the season—four receiving, and two rushing—which ties the record for the most scored by a rookie wide receiver in the first five games of his career in NFL history, dating back to at least 1970, tied with, among others, Randy Moss and Martavis Bryant.
He nearly broke the record, as well, turning a short pass into a long game late in Sunday’s victory over the Cleveland Browns. He stretched out his arm to give for the pylon, and he got there—only his elbow had touched down at the one-yard line before he crossed the plane.
