Assuming that Bateman is gone after this year which of the following records do you think he will own? For the per game numbers I assumed he would play in 13 games.

I did not factor in Yards/Reception because I did not want to make assumptions about number of receptions; but if he were to get exactly 116 receptions to capture the career mark from Decker he would need to go for 2091 to get the career yds/reception (18.5) and 3351 to break the single season yds/reception (24.3). Both records are held by Jared Ellerson.

Two thoughts...

1. I'm surprised that Ron Johnson has been wiped from the record books.
2. I trust Bateman departs for the NFL following the 2020 season, and thus may come shy of some of the records set by players who spent 4 years on the gridiron.
 

I don't think we play 13 games in 2020...looks likely we play a shortened conference only schedule. Could be 8 games in Oct & Nov only with a Big Ten Champ game...then hopefully bowls/playoffs as things get better. We shall see
 




Yikes! Some tough numbers to reach with an 8 game schedule.
