At age 29, number 12 is only 77 yards away from entering the top 100 in receiving yards all-time. The three closest active players ahead of him at 92, 91, and 76--Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall and Antonio Gates, respectively. Pretty good company. The next closest active player behind him is 33 year old Deion Branch at 134.

Not bad.

If he continues at this pace, you could be looking at a top 20 receiver of all-time and possible future Hall of Famer.



Enjoy it while you can.

if he had a bigger mouth, he'd be a pro bowler.

No way in hell he has a shot at HOF unless this saints generation starts rattling off sb's

Er.. I wouldn't call entering the top 100 much of a milestone. Nor do I think he has any shot at the Hall of Fame (especially given how many elite receivers keep getting insufficient amount of votes year after year). That said, he's certainly the best receiver in Saints history.

I think he is great, but his will never be in the hall. Not much national recognition

I remember as a rookie he was listed as a TE in fantasy football. My commissioner had an aneurism when I started him at TE against him.

Colston won't make the hall of fame but he certainly deserves to in my book. One of the great Saints of all time.

I think being in their company makes it a very nice milestone.

I am pretty baffled Fitzgerald isn't in the Top 100 receivers of all time.

Edit: Nevermind, the way you phrased that made it seem like those three are the only active WRs ahead of him in total.
