About Bobby Joe Conrad

Bobby Joe Conrad is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the Chicago/St. Louis Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys. He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies. Conrad set the record for most consecutive games with a reception; 94 contests from 1961 to 1968. After believing he came within a game of breaking Don Hutson's NFL record for consecutive games with a reception, it was discovered that Don Hutson's record was counted erroneously.
