Calvin Johnson averages 9 TD's a year for his career, and this year with his monster season only had 5 TD's. For being considered the best receiver in the league, those numbers aren't very impressive.
Here is an interesting stat: there were 6 players with 100+ receptions this year, and all but one had 6 TD's or less.
There were 9 players with double digit receiving TD's, and seven of them were in the 80-100 reception range.
I honestly don't know what to take from that, other than maybe the 100+ guys were more possession receivers? Only Megatron and AJ averaged over 13 YPC in this group, while over half of the 80-100 reception group averaged over that number.
