Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Brandon LaFell all are on pace for 1000-yard seasons. Tom Brady has never had three 1000-yard receivers.

For LaFell's 1,000-yard projection, I took out the first two games, then divided his yards/nine games, multiplied them by 14 = 1,048 yards.

The closest Brady came to having three 1,000-yard receivers was 2011 with Welker (1,569), Gronk (1,327) and Hernandez (910).
Obviously the league rules have something to do with this, but still interesting nonetheless. Lafell would become just the 2nd outside WR to reach 1,000 yards since Moss for Brady. Boy, was I off about the Lafell signing.
Gronk is a beast, but our WR duo is underrated. Sure, it isn't Nelson/Cobb, Thomas/Sanders, or Marshall/Jeffery, but Edelman/Lafell are both in the top 25 for receiving yards, while Edelman is 7th in receptions and Lafell is 36th.
