A Rapid Takeoff
Thirty-one wide receivers were selected in the 1995 NFL draft, but Wayne Chrebet was not among them. The undrafted free agent, however, set a record for most passes caught in a player's first two seasons. (New England's Terry Glenn needs just 61 catches this year to break Chrebet's record, and Keyshawn Johnson needs 88 to pass his teammate.)
