Last MSU Receiver with a catch in the NFL

[columbiadawg2]

Who is the last wide receiver we've had make a catch in an actual NFL regular season game? I though it was Bumphis but he doesn't have any catches per pro football reference. Last guy I could find was Lance Long....Lance 17'n Long in 2009.

I would have guessed Justin Jenkins, but I forgot about Lance Long. Jenkins played for Philly and Buffalo. Was a stud special teams player. He was super talented but I remember a lot of drops he had at MSU

Who was the last MSU receiver from the state of Louisiana to catch a pass in a game?

 

[Drebin]

Justin Jenkins would be the last MSU receiver to DROP a pass in the NFL. Thanks for playing.

I guess Bump in preseason doesn’t count? Malcom Johnson was a TE and played FB for the Browns, dunno if he has a catch. So yea, probably lance long.

I saw this on 247 and it was basically a generation ago. Crazy.

 

[Captain Ron]

Glen Young?

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Just wait until Dak catches his own pass. **

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Not a receiver, but Josh Robinson had 5 receptions in his brief NFL career

WR from LA that caught a pass wearing maroon and white? Had to have been in the early 90s.

I wouldn't be shocked if it happened before some of our current players were born.

Croom-tastic!!

 

[Snave]

LSU DBs don't count?

they have caught a lot of MSU passes.

Lance Long was the secret weapon. Crooms fooled everyone thinking it was Arceto Clark, but no, it was Long all a long. Looks like the best coaching job Crooms ever did.

 

[josebrown]

He ran a great fade route!

Moulds is who I would have guessed and he played his last season in 2007.

 

[Sienfield]

I don't remember the guy's name but he was discovered on a street in Miami.

 

[Badon]

Olanda Truitt?

It's even worse when you realize he transferred in. We have not signed a WR out of highschool who has played in an NFL game since we signed JJ in 2000...

Then consider Jenkins wasn't drafted. So I guess you're back to Moulds to find a wr we signed out of highschool who was drafted and actually played in the NFL.

Didn't Dak catch one from Elliott last year or is that a dream?

Dak is a TE. The question was about the WR position.
