Baltimore Ravens Top 5 All-Time Leaders in Receiving Yards
By Ben Palmer
1. Derrick Mason – 5,777 receiving yards
Derrick Mason had quite a long career in the NFL. He was drafted in fourth round of the 1997 NFL Draft out of Michigan State by the Tennessee Oilers (later the Tennessee Titans).
Mason played with the Oilers/Titans through 2004 when he left for free agency and was eventually signed by the Baltimore Ravens. Mason played for the Ravens from 2005 to 2010, amassing at least 1,000 receiving yards in all but two of those seasons, until he was released following the 2010 season.
He joined the New York Jets for a while in 2011 before being traded to the Houston Texans who eventually released him in December of that year.
Throughout his 14-year career, Mason had eight seasons with at least 1,000 receiving yards, and had 14 consecutive seasons with at least 700 receiving yards, tied with Terrell Owens for the NFL record.
