Yes he did, then Jerry Rice said hold my beer. As good as Jerry was, that’s how good Hutson was bask in the 30’s and 40’s. And he held the top spot for over 40 years which is insane considering how little used was the passing game in those days and he held the record into the 80’s.
Don Hutson is credited with being the first ever route runner, creating most routes used even today, Don Hutson is THE Hall of fame receiver. Without him we would be playing 80s football today without his Kickstart
Jerry is the greatest hands down but Don doesn't get enough credit for how he dominated his era. He was putting up comparable modern receiver numbers during WW2!
@@17thwhiteprince Comparing him to his era and modern players to thier peers id argue he is the best player in NFL history. I think only Tom Brady and Jerry Rice you would be able to argue with.
Don Hudson is an absolute beast, that he is number 11 on the all-time touchdown list and in the time that he play that he literally didn’t throw the ball that much is incredible.
Hudson played in 116 games, crazy to have that many touchdowns in that many games. Rice played in 303 games. Remember back in the day they generally only played 10 to 12 games per season. Everybody on this list are great players obviously, many from different eras.
@@richardoconnor2560 NFL Films (the official video archive company of the NFL) came into existence in 1962 because too much footage had already been lost to time. There's so little record remaining of Don Hutson.
@@richardoconnor2560 That's why the Sabols started NFL Films. They realized that too much history had been lost, and it's why there's so much archived footage of NFL games since then now.
Yes Don Hutson was that good. Nearly 3xs better than nearest competitors when he retired. Used to swing around goal posts and catch touchdowns. Scored 29 points in 1 quarter (look it up). Some of our Greatest players came before television 📺
1. Jerry Rice - 49ers 2. Randy Moss - Vikings 3. Terrell Owens 49ers 4. Cris Carter - Vikings 2 teams had the majority of the best wideouts of all time
When is anyone ever going to catch Rice. At this point it’s only Fitz still playing and he’s at the end of his career. This is nuts!! No wonder he was voted the goat not just at wr but best at any position.
Moss was a quitter and gave up on plays. Dude is overrated. Talented and the best at the deep ball aling with Fitz and Calvin but he is not a top 10 all time
idk they were both good for probably the same amount of years but Jerry was a lot more stubborn and played about 8 more years than most players would have at receiver lmao
I like watching these rankings real close after the years the color barrier has been broken.. I love watching the paradigm shift in numbers when the most talented people on earth are allowed to play..
Jerry Rice has 208 career td's Steve Largent who is a hall of famer has 100. Doesnt matter who's throwing the football. 90% of the time stats don't lie. There's Jerry Lee Rice..... And everybody else.
Clearly he didn't want to or couldn't play anymore, but I can't imagine retiring on a 99 or 199, 499. I mean just 1 more. I wonder if Hudson ever regretted not trying a couple games the next season to get 100.
I remember when 100 td’s was a big deal and one of those numbers that might not be reached. Then all the rules changed tho I’m sure Rice would’ve hit it anyway. I believe Largent spent most of his time under the mugging rules. Rice was bigger and so good getting off the line, he didn’t get mugged like Mark Clayton, all 5’7” 145lbs of him, did.
I believe Jerry Rice will hold this record for at least as long as Don Hutson did if not longer. 197 receiving touchdowns is not an easy number to reach. I don’t see that being broken anytime soon.
Yea don hudsons record sat for a long ass time but I’m pretty sure jerry rice took the record for the rest of human history. Even other HOFs aren’t in his solar system
It's impossible to say of course, whether any record is truly "unbreakable." But whoever catches JR has a loooooooooong way to go. 40 ahead of #2? Amazing.
@@adamzullo3624 Stockton's assists/steals records, Rice's receiving records, Wayne Gretzky's scoring records, and Rickey Henderson's runs scored and stolen base records are absolutely untouchable for aspects of their sports that haven't changed much (pre-80s pitching records are never getting challenged because how pitchers are used it RADICALLY different now). Gotta say Gretzky's assist record is the most untouchable because no one in NHL history even has as many *points* (goals + assists) as he has assists.
So, which receiver should go into the Hall of Fame next? I say Reggie Wayne. Steve Smith becomes eligible in 2022 and while he's a shoo in to make it at some point, he likely won't get `1st ballot. That means 2022 is a year in which there is an opportunity for receiver who has been waiting to make it. I don't see Hines Ward as a Hall of Famer so it's between Torry Holt and Reggie Wayne. Holt has been waiting longer, but Wayne was the better player and has better career stats in all 3 major stats including being 10th in both catches and yards. I say, Wayne 2022, Holt 2023, and Smith 2024. Fitz is a shoo in for first ballot but we don't know when he'll retire.

Edelman even has a superbowl MP, and in another superbowl he made a legendary catch that rivals any of the greatest catches in SB without which they lose that SB. Also he averages 12.2 yards per reception in the playoffs (jerry is a bit over 14, so yea jerry is clearly better, but other then him ?) and is just super clutch in the biggest games. But for some reason he does not even have a pro bowl, though new en gland guys are infamous for getting snubbed on these popularity contests (which is what the pro bowl really is if we are honest).

Before Steve Largent broke it in 1989, it was regarded as the league's most unbreakable record.

Hutson also accomplished his feat while playing less than 120 games and in a far less passing era.
Great point.
So basically Don Hutson is the Babe Ruth of receiving TDs...when he retired he had more than 2x (almost 3x) as many as anyone else.
And held first place for 50 years 💀

Don Hudson is the greatest receiver ever. He got 99 rec TDs in his career and retired in 1945 his record was broken in 1989 by 1, 44 years later.
From 1939 until 1989 Don Hutson was untouchable. Let that sink in, 50 years that man was hands down the most prolific scoring WR in league history.
Hutson only played 11 years look up his stats hes the original megatron
Some say Hutson was pressured not to catch TD 100 because the record books couldn't fit three digits back then.
Man I just can’t imagine thinking anyone is better than rice
Summation of the entire list
Don Hutson until Jerry Rice shows up.
Jerry Rice forever !

No one is catching rice. Larry fitz is the only one close enough to break one of his records(yards)

197 receiving. Most of the other 11 were rushing. He did throw for at least one. I don’t know if that one is counted among the 208.

Steve literally stayed in the league a extra 3 years just to break Don Hutson record 😆 Probably retired the same day he hit 100 touchdowns lol
