It's not much of a surprise that Jerry Rice heads the list for the Single Season Receiving Yards leader. Jerry Rice had 4 seasons in which he had over 1,500 receiving yards, and 6 seasons with over 1,400 receiving yards. 1995 was a big year for receiving yards, as 4 of the top 11 receiving yards leaders came from that year; Jerry Rice, Isaac Bruce, Herman Moore, and Michael Irvin.
