Sharpe, Driver Among Packers Single-Season Receiving Leaders

Green Bay quarterback Brett Favre hasn't shattered numerous National Football League passing records without a little help from his receivers.

Two in particular, Sterling Sharpe during the 1990s and Donald Driver in the past several years, are among the elite ball catchers in Packers history because of their connections with Favre.

Here are the top 10 single-season marks for receptions in Green Bay history.

Sterling Sharpe, 112 catches_Sharpe averaged a career low 11.4 yards per catch but reached the end zone 11 times in 1993 as the Packers finished 9-7 and qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 1982. He broke his personal and team mark that he had established the year before.

Sterling Sharpe, 108 catches_His first season playing for Coach Mike Holmgren and with Favre put him among the NFL's elite in 1992. Sharpe scored 13 touchdowns and set a career-high with 1,461 yards.

Robert Brooks, 102 catches_Brooks became only the second Packer to surpass the century mark, finishing with a team mark of 1,497 yards in 1995. Brooks, like Sharpe a South Carolina product, tied a record with a 99-yard scoring reception from Favre against Chicago, one of 13 on the season. It was by far Brooks' best season as a severe knee injury the next year helped curtail a promising career.

Sterling Sharpe, 94 catches_Sharpe gained more than 1,000 yards for the fifth time in 1994, which became his last season because of a neck injury sustained in the regular-season finale against Atlanta in the last contest the Packers played in Milwaukee.

Javon Walker, 89 catches_Walker became Favre's big-play target in 2004, hauling in 12 TD passes. He finished with 1,382 yards and a 15.5 average that featured a 79-yard TD catch.
