In 1979 2nd year wide receiver Wes Chandler had a huge year for the New Orleans Saints. Chandler caught the ball 65 times for 1,069 yards and 6 touchdowns, leading his team in all 3 categories.
In his 3 years (and 4 games in 1981) with the Saints Chandler caught 182 passes for 2,801 yards and 15 touchdowns. He was traded partway through the 1981 season to the Chargers and had success there as well, catching 373 passes over the next 7 seven seasons. He racked up 6,132 yards and pulled in 41 touchdowns.
Chandler's legs didn't just help him separate from defenders, he was also a pretty decent punter as well, he punted for both the Chargers and the Saints on some occasions, booting the ball 13 times for 415 yards.
Chandler's best season came in 1982 when he led the league in receiving yards, touchdowns, and yards per game. His 129 receiving yards per game in 1982 has yet to be matched by any player.
