3 receivers with Alabama football roots reach 1,000 yards on season’s final Sunday

Six players from Alabama high schools and colleges entered the final weekend of the NFL’s 2024 regular season with at least 900 receiving yards. Three made it to the 1,000 milestone – but barely.

Nico Collins (Clay-Chalkville) had five receptions for 38 yards and one touchdown before heading to the bench with some of the Houston Texans’ other key players in a 23-14 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Collins heads into the playoffs after recording 68 receptions for 1,006 yards and seven touchdowns in the 2024 regular season, even though he missed five games because of a hamstring injury.

Calvin Ridley (Alabama) had three receptions for 76 yards in the Titans’ loss to Houston. That pushed Ridley’s 2024 totals to 64 receptions for 1,017 yards and four touchdowns.

Jameson Williams (Alabama) had six receptions for 34 yards in the Detroit Lions’ 31-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. Williams closed the regular season with 58 receptions for 1,001 yards and seven touchdowns.

Of the three other players with Alabama football roots who entered the weekend within 100 of 1,000, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (Gadsden City) missed Sunday’s 44-38 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers because of a shoulder injury, which left him at 64 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns for the 2024 campaign.
