Timeline

1969

Yancey Dirk Thigpen (born August 15, 1969) is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL) for the San Diego Chargers (1991), the Pittsburgh Steelers (1992–1997), and the Tennessee Oilers/Titans (1998–2000).

Before his NFL career, he played for Winston-Salem State University, where he also played collegiate basketball.

1991

Thigpen was drafted in the fourth round of the 1991 NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers.

1994

Thigpen played infrequently in his first three seasons, but had a breakout year in 1994, catching 36 passes for 546 yards.

1995

Then in 1995, he made the Pro Bowl, catching 85 passes for 1,307 yards and five touchdowns, and assisting his team to Super Bowl XXX, where he recorded three catches for 19 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers 27–17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

1997

Thigpen played only six games in the following season due to injuries, but made a full recovery in the 1997 season, catching 79 passes for 1,398 yards and 7 touchdowns and making his second Pro Bowl selection.

1998

His tough style of play earned him the nickname "Meatball," which was later changed to "Phil" when he joined the Oilers in 1998.

In 1998, he signed a five-year, $21 million contract with the Oilers, which at the time was the highest known contract ever signed among wide receivers.

1999

He went on to play with them for the final three seasons of his career, assisting the team (now known as the Titans) to Super Bowl XXXIV in the 1999 season.

Such a large contract for a wide receiver was a signal of the role which wide receivers would begin to play in the NFL.

2000

Thigpen retired after the 2000 season with 313 career receptions for 5,081 yards and 30 touchdowns.

He also rushed for four yards, returned two punts for 30 yards, and gained 188 yards on eight kickoff returns.
