Tampa Bay Buccaneers star rookie wide receiver Emeka Egbuka leads all rookies with 25 receptions, 445 receiving yards, and 5 touchdowns on the year.
He has recorded a touchdown reception in four of five games and has had at least 100 yards receiving in two consecutive games. If Egbuka reaches the century mark for the third straight game on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, he would become the fifth rookie in the Super Bowl era to reach the mark in three consecutive games. He would join Odell Beckham Jr. (four straight games in 2014), Marques Colston(three in 2006), Mike Evans(three in 2014), and Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss, who had three in 1998.

With another touchdown catch on Sunday, Egbuka would become only the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to score a touchdown in five of his first six career games.
With another game-winning drive in the final minute of the game, the Buccaneers as a whole can become the first team ever in the history of the NFL to win five games in a row by putting together a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter with under a minute remaining.
