Actually, I made a mistake with the question, but considering how it looks I'll say the answer is Don Hutson. I meant to pose the question in the context of the NFL since they combined with the AFL, so I should have said 'modern era', wherein the answer would be Sharpe, actually, but whoever says Hutson the quickest I'm gonna give the win to.
You cant just "give" it away, the question was way off, you asked who led the NFL in receptions 3 years into his career, and there were many guys who led it after 3 years into their career, Tom Fears led the NFL in REC his first 3 years, and many guys led the NFL in REC for more than 3 years, if your question isnt right then dont give someone the answer, if you have any problems ask a mod.
