Here are Brown's numbers in '88 and Chase's numbers this year projected for a 16 game season
Brown.... 53 rec ... 1273 yds ... 24.0 avg ... 9 td
Chase.... 56 rec ... 1240 yds ... 22.1 avg ... 16 td
I don't have the full records from '88, but Bown had at least 9 receptions of 30+ yds including 5 of 60+. He only had two games without a reception of at least 24 yds.
But the game has changed a lot since '88. Back then there were 9 WRs who had at least 40 receptions and averaged 17+ yds per catch (including 4 who averaged at least 19). Last year there were only 2 with 40 receptions and a 17 avg and zero with a 19 avg.
