Another Irving Fryar-related trivia question, just like we had on Wednesday:
“Irving Fryar is one of three WRs to be selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft. He played for 17 seasons (255 games), was a two-time Second Team All-Pro selection, five-time Pro Bowl honoree and finished with 851 receptions for 12,785 yards and 84 TDs.
“Fryar played for four franchises during that 17-year period. Name all four.”
Bonus Question: At the time of his retirement in 2001, Fryar owned three NFL records and was No. 3 on the all-time list of another record. How many records can you list *WITHOUT* looking it up on Wikipedia like I did.
=================================
Answers:
The four teams:
New England Patriots (1984-1992)
Miami Dolphins (1993-95)
Philadelphia Eagles (1996-98)
Washington Redskins (1999-2000)
The records:
