Keenan Allen passes Terrell Owens, Anquan Boldin on NFL career receptions leaderboard: How high will he climb?

Keenan Allen made history this season by surging into the NFL’s top 10 all-time receptions list, landing at ninth with 1,081 career catches after a strong start with the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran wideout, now 34, moved past legends like Terrell Owens and Anquan Boldin with eight receptions in Sunday’s loss to the Titans, vaulting past them in the rankings.

Allen’s climb continues as he sits just 13 catches behind Tim Brown for eighth place, with a season on pace to push him even higher. His career totals include 70 catches with the Chicago Bears in 2024 and 81 more after returning to the Chargers last year, with the bulk of his 1,081 receptions coming during his tenure with the franchise in San Diego and Los Angeles.

Among the top 10, only tight ends Jason Witten and Travis Kelce—neither yet enshrined in the Hall of Fame—stand between Allen and the all-time receptions record. Despite the Colts’ No.

1 receiver, Alec Pierce, expected to return from injured reserve, Allen remains a key target in the passing game, having already logged 26 receptions in five games as a Colt, second-most on the team.
