Mr.
Consistent
Terry
Vaughn always cracks the 1,000-yard milestone
When
it comes to catching passes, nobody in the history of the
CFL has been as consistent as Terry Vaughn. Not Allen Pitts,
not Darren Flutie, not Ray Elgaard or Don Narcisse.
Back in 1995 the Calgary Stampeders rookie hauled in 72 passes
for 1,031 yards. For the next three seasons with the Stamps
and then the next four with the Edmonton Eskimos, Vaughn continued
to pile up the yards, setting the record this year for most
consecutive seasons with more than 1,000 yards in receiving.
Both Pitts and Flutie passed the magic 1,000 mark nine times,
but not consecutively, while Elgaard and Narcisse reached
the milestone eight times, but again, not in a row.
Vaughn's record is a testament to his durability, especially
when you consider that many of his catches come in the middle
of the field. In 2002, the seven-time West division all-star
hauled in 94 passes for 1,291 yards and nine touchdowns.
During his four seasons in Calgary Vaughn was a key part of
the Stampeders high-powered offence and won a Grey Cup there
in 1998. But, with the likes of Pitts and Vince Danielsen also
catching passes in Calgary, Vaughn knew he wasn't going to get
the chance to be the No. 1 target and signed with the Eskimos
in 1999.
The move paid off for Vaughn. While he never caught more than
81 passes with the Stamps, he has topped the 90-reception
mark three straight years in Edmonton.
