Baseball has its 3,000 hit club which currently has 32 members. If I would do something similar for receiving yards that would put the mark at 12,000 yards and only 31 players have done it. If we raise the mark to 13,000 yards only 20 players have done it. So, what do you consider a Hall of Fame worthy career total?
