NFL’s 1,000 catch club, updated after DeAndre Hopkins joins exclusive list

Sports news

Earlier his season Davante Adams joined the exclusive list of NFL wide receivers with at least 1,000 receptions in their career.

Tonight, DeAndre Hopkins joined him on that list of elite NFL pass catchers.

Hopkins entered tonight’s game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Cincinnati Bengals sitting on 999 career receptions, one shy of one of the NFL’s most exclusive clubs. But a throw from Lamar Jackson late in the first half opened the door for Hopkins to enter that club:

The pass pulled him level with Hines Ward, who finished his storied career with exactly 1,000 career catches. Hopkins is now the 18th player in NFL history to reach the 1,000-reception mark.

Among active players, Travis Kelce is the leader in career receptions with 1,058 catches, followed by Keenan Allen with 1,030 career catches. Adams now sits at 1,005 career receptions on this list.

Jerry Rice leads the way with 1,549 career receptions.

If you are wondering what younger players have a shot at the 1,000-reception club, Stefon Diggs is next on the list of active players with 918 receptions. While he is not the next active player on the list after Diggs, Justin Jefferson already has 551 receptions over five-plus seasons in the NFL.

Deadspin | Rafael Marquez will replace Javier Aguirre as Mexico manager after World Cup Jun 1, 2017; East Rutherford, NJ, USA; Mexico defender Rafael Marquez (4) passes the ball during the second half of their game against the Republic of Ireland at MetLife Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images Rafael Marquez will replace Javier Aguirre as manager of Mexico’s national team after this summer’s World Cup, Mexico Football Federation sporting director Duilio Davino confirmed in an interview with Fox Sports Mexico on Monday. Marquez, a legendary defender for FC Barcelona as well as the Mexican national team, has served as an assistant coach on Aguirre’s Mexican national team staff since July 2024, when the pair were both hired with a succession plan in place. “His contract is signed and his staff is nearly 80% set,” Davino said of Marquez. “Andres (Guardado) is an option (to join Rafa’s staff). Off the pitch, Marquez is a (big) personality. On the pitch today, as both an assistant and a coach, Rafa is the way he was as a player. He transforms inside a dressing room.” Mexico is hosting 13 matches — including all three of the country’s group-stage matches and three knockout round matches — in this summer’s World Cup, which it is co-hosting along with the U.S. and Canada. Marquez has minimal coaching appearance, previously coaching Alcala’s U15 team and the Barcelona B squad in Spain before joining Mexico’s coaching staff. However, he’s one of the most accomplished Mexican players in international history, captaining the country in five World Cups (2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018) and scoring 17 goals in 147 caps for Mexico from 1997-2018. He also helped Barcelona win 10 trophies, including a pair of Champions League titles and four La Liga championships, during his time with the club from 2003-2010. Aguirre’s third stint as Mexico’s manager will come to an end this summer. The Mexico City native previously led the national team from 2001-02 and 2009-10. Mexico, which is in Group A of the World Cup, will play the opening match of the event on June 11 against South Africa in Mexico City. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Rafael #Marquez #replace #Javier #Aguirre #Mexico #manager #World #CupJun 1, 2017; East Rutherford, NJ, USA; Mexico defender Rafael Marquez (4) passes the ball during the second half of their game against the Republic of Ireland at MetLife Stadium.

Deadspin | Utah’s Terrence Brown, NC State G Matthew Able commit to North Carolina Mar 10, 2026; Kansas City, MO, USA; Utah Utes guard Terrence Brown (2) drives around Cincinnati Bearcats guard Day Day Thomas (1) during the second half at T-Mobile Center. Mandatory Credit: William Purnell-Imagn Images Utah guard Terrence Brown and North Carolina State guard Matthew Able both pledged to join North Carolina on Tuesday. Brown was third in the Big 12 with a 19.9 scoring average last season. Able averaged 8.8 points off the bench for the Wolfpack. Brown has three years of college experience – two coming at Fairleigh Dickinson before playing for the Utes last season. He averaged 20.6 points in his second season at FDU. The 6-foot-3 Brown also averaged 3.8 assists and 1.4 steals while starting all 32 games for the Utes in 2025-26. He shot 32.7% from 3-point range. Able was a freshman and averaged 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 34 games for NC State. He shot 35.5% from behind the arc. A highly acclaimed recruit, Able began looking at other options after Will Wade left as coach for the LSU gig. North Carolina previously reeled in guard Neoklis Avdalas, who averaged 12.1 points, 4.6 assists and 3.1 rebounds as a freshman for Virginia Tech this season. New coach Michael Malone is quickly trying to put together a roster after replacing the ousted Hubert Davis. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Utahs #Terrence #Brown #State #Matthew #commit #North #CarolinaMar 10, 2026; Kansas City, MO, USA; Utah Utes guard Terrence Brown (2) drives around Cincinnati Bearcats guard Day Day Thomas (1) during the second half at T-Mobile Center.
