Who was the first rookie to have 80+ receptions?

Wild-ass guess: either Lionel Taylor or Odell Beckham

Odell did it but he wasn't the first. Good guesses.

Not looking anything up.... Ditka?

EDIT... Oh geez nevermind. He wasn't even close.

Terry Glenn? He might have been the first rookie with 90 receptions. Cooper as a RB did it in 1980.

Was thinking someone from the USFL but my man Gary Clark came up short with 72. Dwight Clark and Dave Parks did it their 2nd year.

Cooper is correct!

Yeah, the question threw me off ... I thought it said the first rookie receiver with 80 receptions. Would that still be Glenn or someone else?
