He holds the all-purpose yards record for the University of Tennessee, which stands at 4,642.

Morgan was one of the fastest receivers in the NFL early in his career and averaged over 20 yards per reception his first six seasons, with a career high 24.1 yards per reception in 1978. He led the NFL in yards per reception in 1979, 1980 and 1981.

Stanley topped 1,000 receiving yards three times (1979, 1981 & 1986). Morgan appeared in four Pro Bowls (1979, 1980, 1986 & 1987) and was selected 2nd Team All-Pro in 1980 & 1986. He finished his career with 557 receptions for 10,716 yards and 72 touchdowns, along with 121 rushing yards. His 10,352 receiving yards with the Patriots set their franchise record.

Morgan was a member of the 1985 AFC Champion New England Patriots and caught six passes for 51 yards in Super Bowl XX.

His best season as a Patriot was 1986 when he caught 84 passes for 1,491 yards and 10 touchdowns, leading the Patriots to the AFC East Title.

Morgan was selected into the New England Patriots Hall of Fame. The ceremony took place on August 27, 2007.

Famous quotes containing the words stanley and/or morgan:

“For when we must resign our vital breath,
Our Loves by Fate benighted,
We by this friendship shall survive in death,
Even in divorce united.
Weak Love through fortune or distrust
In time forgets to burn,
But this pursues us to the Urn,
And marries either’s Dust.”
—Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)

“You don’t know Leonie. She married me to achieve insecurity, and now you’re trying to take it away from her.”
—David Mercer, British screenwriter, and Karel Reisz. Morgan (David Warner)
