Can’t believe that Randy Moss and Terrell Owens didn’t lead in any years.

My main takeaway from this quiz is that it is very hard to lead the league more than twice. Julio - twice, Megatron - twice, Andre Johnson - twice, Torry Holt - twice, Marvin Harrison - twice, Steve Largent - twice. And then Jerry Rice with seven times. Wow.
