What happened: Calvin Johnson said he does not expect his single-season NFL receiving yards record to last much longer, and that if he had to guess, Rams star Puka Nacua would be the one to break it. The endorsement puts Nacua at the center of one of the league's most enduring records as he heads into the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Nacua has been the focal point of the Rams' passing game, and a high-volume target with that role is exactly the profile needed to make a run at a single-season yardage record. Johnson backing him over the rest of the league's receivers is a real vote of confidence in where Nacua's game is trending.
