Where Will Rondale Fall in Our Record Books?

[KentuckyBoiler]

For argument sake, let's say for sure that we have 10 games this year, and it is possible there could be 1 more with a bowl. We know that this will be Rondale's last year. He was only able to play 4 games last year or he might have broken every one of these records below.

Where will Rondale fall within our records for career Receptions, Reception Yards, and Receiving TDs by the end of his career with us?

He currently stands at 143 career receptions, 1,645 career receiving yards, and 14 receiving TDs

No matter how this year shakes out (i.e., fall vs. spring, conference only vs. full slate), he is going to be criminally under represented in the career stats. If he's able to play 8 or 9 games, he'll pretty safely be in the top 5 for most/all of those. Which is incredible because he'd be doing it in the equivalent of 2 full seasons.

 

[FirstDownB]

Probably in the 4-6 range on each list.

Surprised to see Greg Orton so high. He kind of flew under the radar as #2 receiver on those late Tiller teams.

Yeah, 4-6 seems about right.

Re: Orton - he was the third option a lot of those years. Keller and Bryant got the lions share of the looks.

 

[tenwest]

Alford with 31 TDs. Dang that’s pretty stout. Where’s that stand in the B1G?

I totally forgot but we have the top 3 WR in the conference in terms of total receiving yards.

1. Standeford- 3,788
2. Stubblefield- 3,629
3. Bryant- 3,548

I still don’t know why John Standeford did not get a shot in the NFL, except practice squads. He was a great route runner and had great hands and size.

Top 3 in receptions as well.

Never a bad time to review rondale’s highlights.

is there a more exciting player in Purdue history? Rod Woodson was before my time. Him and Leroy were the only two that I thought might be able to compare.

i guess in my lifetime runner up would be Dorian Bryant or alstott.

that’s an amazing stat that I did not know.

for QB yards, Purdue boasts the top 2 and 4 of the top 8.
