receiving yards

Pass-catcher's total distance

Receiving yards is an American football statistic measuring the total distance a player advances the ball after catching a pass.

The count begins where the catch is made and ends where the player is tackled, goes out of bounds, or scores.

It's a primary measure of a receiver's productivity: He led the league in receiving yards last season.
