Question

What player has caught the most passes in NFL history without ever catching a pass in a playoff game?

Answer

Brandon Marshall, who’s 16th on the all-time list with 970 catches. He just signed with the 8-1 Saints, giving him a good chance of getting to play in the postseason for the first time. According to the website Pro Football Reference 144 players in league history have caught at 500 passes. Only five of them haven’t caught passes in playoff games, including J.T. Smith (544 receptions from 1978-90), Carl Pickens (540 catches from 1992-2000), Bobby Mitchell (521 from 1958-1968) and Billy Howton (503 from 1952-1963). Mitchell appeared in a playoff game, but without any receptions.
