01- Brown 101 rec. 1199 yards, 5 tds.
02- Brown 97 rec. 890 yards, 3 tds.
03- Branch 57 rec. 803 yards, 3 tds.
04- Givens 56 rec. 874 yards, 3 tds.
05- Branch 78 rec. 998 yards, 5 tds.
06- Caldwell 61 rec. 760 yards, 4 tds.

Only Brown in Brady's first year reached 1000+ yards in that system...that's it...in 6 years, only 1 guy. The 101 and 97 receptions are impressive in 01 and 02, but the past 4 years, the average is only 63 receptions for the leader.
Two words: Randy Moss!
