It's pretty trippy only Trippi got the triple.

And somehow he avoided concussion protocol

He was an incredible athlete & could’ve played pro baseball if he’d wanted to. I have a coworker whose dad was a ball boy for the Atlanta Crackers and has a ball autographed by a lot of players and Trippi’s autograph was on it. He played only one season with the Atlanta Crackers.

RIP. Terrell Pryor needs less than 400 rushing yards to make this list. Bring him back!

The only other modern era player that could potentially fall into this same category (not saying he's HoF material) is maybe Taysom Hill? I would search up his career stats but my work filter isn't letting me look at sports sites.

He definitely has 1,000+ passing yards. Not sure about rushes or receiving though.

So it's never gonna be very achievable then. He could be the only "te" on the roster and they'd still just use him like taysom. Plus he's already 32 he's not gonna more than double his receiving yards at this point.

He was a teammate of my Uncle’s on the Cardinals. Pretty crazy stat.

Can you imagine him in todays wildcat offense? He’d get absolutely destroyed since he’s 100 years old and that’s way too old to play football

Saints QB/TE/RB Taysom Hill needs 600 more receiving yards in his career to also join this club. Will be difficult but not impossible.

Trippi is only there cause he was early to the party. Stewart was something special for a minute there. Taysom Hill too.

I know people say this but, hits weren't as hard then. One of the drawbacks to putting 30 pounds of armor on guys is that they 100% intend to use it. Take that away and they're going to keep continuing to hit like they do now.

I can't find anyone else. I know the title says he's the only hall of famer with these stats but as far as I can tell he's the only player. Terrelle Pryor is actually the next closest I think

This title makes it souns like he died at the 100 yard line

Taysom Hill needs 700 more receiving yards in his career to become the second player to hit those numbers. Are any other active players closer?

Hill was my first thought, too.

Terrelle Pryor would have been next but career cut short: 1994 passing, 1563 receiving, 646 rushing

Walter Payton had 331 passing yards

Tebow might have had a chance if we switched positions; 998 rushing, 197 receiving

Only NFL Hall of Famer? Does that mean there are NFL players who aren't HOFs that have accomplished this?

You see, back then football teams only carried as many players as they needed to play. Without good ol Jim, his team would be out the 11 players needed to compete and would be forced to forfeit the game. So, as he laid on the locker room floor clutching his heart, Jim Pickney said to his brothers-in-arms, “Boys, this is how it ends for me, but it doesn’t have to end for you. When I go, I want you to drag me out on the field and…” these were his last words before he went unconscious and passed a few minutes later. His faithful teammates honored his wishes, and, as they returned from the half, carried Jim’s lifeless body onto the field and placed him behind the quarterback. To everyone, it appeared to be an elaborate trick play, where perhaps Jim would unexpectedly pop up at some point during the half and take the ball. They played an entire quarter in this manner, dragging Jim’s body along with them down the field every time they gained a few yards. Unfortunately, by the start of the 4th quarter the sharp-eyed refs had discovered the ruse, and the Albany Pumpernicks were forced to forfeit the game.

Ever since that day, the brave warrior of the gridiron earned himself the moniker “Dead” Jim Pickney, and a display in his honor remains open to the public in a back corner of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Really sad to hear. As a Ravens fan, I was hoping we’d sign him and add some depth at WR

Read this, laughed.

Reread in Scott aukermans voice.

Realized I have no purpose.

Rote a Reddit comment.

Intentionally misspelled “wrote” to preserve alliteration, realized it worked too homonyms.

Fucked it all up with last paragraphs and some gorilla glue

All besties can decide everything freely given he's involved just kindly liking many new opportunities or personally quieting reviewers somehow Trippi's under view while x-raying yesterday's zones
