does anyone know what WR has the most career 90+ yard TD receptions? I see John Taylor has 3.

I know JuJu Smith-Schuster had back-to-back seasons (2017 & 2018) with a 97-yd reception.

Took a quick look at PFR list of longest receptions in history. Mike Wallace and Terrell Owens also had two 90-yard+ receptions in their careers. Aside from them and JuJu and Taylor, nobody else has done it more than once.

I know Mike Quick had two 90+ yard TDs in 1984 and 1985. I thought that was odd, so I looked up a few other people and couldn't find anyone other than John Taylor with more than 1. Most WRs didn't have any....even the ones who you thought would have a few.

Night Train Lane had a 98-yd TD reception. Might have had more if he'd been a full-time receiver. Mac Speedie had a 99-yd TD in the AAFC and might have had more if he hadn't signed with CFL.

Karl Sweetan's very first NFL TD pass was a 99-yarder to Pat Studstill at Baltimore in 1966.

It was all downhill from there....

In 1981 Steve Watson recorded a 93 yard TD reception against the Chargers in Week 4 and a 95 yard TD reception against Detroit in Week 6. In Week 14 he tallied an 86 yarder versus Kansas City, a play that fell just 6 yards short of the endzone. At the time it was the longest non-scoring pass play in Broncos history.

It was not his first NFL pass, but it was his first NFL TD pass. Came in his second appearance.

That's what I said.
