He finished his career with 641 catches for 11,263 yards and 58 touchdowns receiving, and he had 72 rushes for 463 yards and four touchdowns rushing. He also recorded four punt return touchdowns, including a walk-off return dubbed the “Miracle at the New Meadowlands,” where he scooped up a fumbled punt reception in New York on that fateful evening in December 2010 and veered his way into the end zone.
