To start the year, Nacua has been on a historic pace, similar to his rookie season. If he kept his numbers through the 17 games in the season, he would set the NFL record for receptions and receiving yards. He is on pace to shatter Michael Thomas’ receptions record from 2019 and Calvin Johnson’s yards record from 2012. After the 2020 season, Nacua returned home to Provo and immediately became a star for the Cougars. Nacua finished his first season as a professional with an NFL rookie record 105 receptions for 1,486 yards.
