Delanie Walker Sets Titans' Single-Season Tight End Receiving Record

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker caught four passes for 93 yards in Sunday's 16-11 loss to the New York Jets to break the franchise single-season record for receiving yards by a tight end, per Gary Glenn of the Titans' official website.

Walker has 793 yards so far this season, surpassing Frank Wychek's old record of 768, set back in 1998.

The nine-year veteran went over the mark in a rather unusual manner, as he was credited with 33 yards on the game's final play, which saw the Titans toss a number of laterals in desperation.

Walker was the final player to touch the ball, and he was forced out of bounds at the Jets' 9-yard line after mistakenly failing to make one last lateral.

While the ending of Sunday's game was far from ideal, the 30-year-old Walker is arguably having his best season as a pro, with 52 catches for 793 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games.

In 2013, his first season with the Titans, he caught 60 passes for 571 yards and six touchdowns to set career-high marks in each category.

The big difference this season has been Walker's usage down the field, as he's averaging 15.3 yards per reception compared to just 9.5 last year. Among qualifying tight ends, only Coby Fleener (16.2) of the AFC South-leading Indianapolis Colts has recorded more yards per reception in 2014.
