The only thing he ever led in, was Y/R in 1975.

He had 2 seasons in top 10 of yards, 4 in TDs and is 53rd all-time in Y/R, which was his best attribute.
Fairly pedestrian, actually (and no, I'm not trolling; that is absolutely pedestrian. Maybe ascended pedestrian).
EDIT* I mean, James Lofton played in the same era, on worse teams and he had almost double the amount of yards, in only 4 more seasons and had 6 years of 1,000 yards. Ditto for Steve Largent, though he came through a touch later and played longer as well.
Just looking at the all-time yards list, there are SO MANY guys in the same era and a decade before, who have more yards than Curtis.
And that's just yards; I haven't even looked at TDs or anything.
