The third-year receiver had 77 receptions for 1,405 yards and scored six touchdowns. In the backfield, he had 59 carries for 365 yards and eight rushing touchdowns. This is an NFL-record for rushing touchdowns by a wide receiver in a single-season. He also made the Pro-Bowl while becoming a First-Team All-Pro.

One reason he asked to be traded was his usage in the offensive scheme. He had 59 rushing attempts and 77 receptions. Wide receivers don't normally run the ball out of the backfield, let alone 59 times. When combining the two, he had 136 touches, which isn't good for his longevity.
