Anquan Boldin Approaches 1,000-catch Milestone and Free Agency

Anquan Boldin's first NFL reception was on a 3rd-and-2 play in the first quarter of a Week 1 road matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sept. 7, 2003.

The rookie wideout for the Arizona Cardinals caught a 20-yard out pattern from quarterback Jeff Blake. Boldin went on to finish his NFL debut with 10 catches for 217 receiving yards.

Fast forward to Week 16 of Boldin's 13th NFL campaign, and the veteran wideout could very well catch his 1,000 career pass in Detroit.

Boldin, the leading receiver (59 catches, 691 receiving yards and three touchdowns) for the 2015 San Francisco 49ers, is one grab away from becoming the 13th player in league history to reach the 1,000-reception mark.
