TB throwing TD's to 71 players

[Hyped]

We know that Brady holds the record for most TD passes to different receivers with 71 and counting. We know that vinny Testaverde had 70 players across several teams.

Who is #3, #4, and etc.....and how many?

Tried googling it, pro-football referencing it, and etc....no luck...am curious if anyone here knows?

Steve DeBerg 62
Brett Favre 61

Peyton Manning 7

What’s the record for throwing to different DBs?

 

[Hyped]

Steve DeBerg 62
Brett Favre 61

Your source? I'd like to see a complete list if possible?

I am wondering if other QB's like Manning, Brees, Rodgers, etc... have had to work with as many different receivers as Brady or not. For example, Vinny was on 7 different teams which had at least 3-4 receivers each at a time...whereas Brady was only on one team for 2 decades....

a top 5 list was was shown after Brady got to 71 on NFL Network or something, can't remember but I don't remember who was #5. I found it in a couple of articles talking about Brady breaking the record. They only mentioned DeBerg and Favre.

Let me google that for you.

Let us check the first link:

Tom Brady Sets NFL Record By Throwing Touchdown To 71st Different Receiver, Josh Gordon

The rankings behind Brady and Testaverde include Steve Deberg (62) and Brett Favre (61).

​

I am guessing there may be a way of doing a query on Pro Football Reference to find a complete list. Perhaps a project for later tonight.

Pro Football Reference has how many receivers the QB threw TDs to located on the QB page for that QB. On the player page Click Touchdowns, then click TD passes, and on the right is the number of receivers and a list of all the receiver names.

Drew Brees: 63
Peyton Manning: 49

 

[Wheelman]

Makes sense. Brees has thrown to 2 new receivers this season I think? Tre'Quan Smith and Cameron Meredith.

Thanks guys....will use each QB's individual page on Pro-Football ref then...

There's a lot of neat stuff on the PFR player touchdown page:
Tom Brady Career Passing Touchdown Log | Pro-Football-Reference.com

Wouldn't have thought Brady has thrown more road TDs than home TDs, for example.

Or that 89 of his 500 reg season TDs (17.8%) are 3yd or less and that 240 of them (48.0%) are 9yd or less.

And since many people here like to accuse Goober of vulturing, he threw 90 of 539 (16.7%) for 3yd or less and 215 of 539 (39.9%) for 9yd or less.
So unless you want to accuse Brady of that, best to stop bringing it up.
