Samuels to reach milestone ... ANOTHER milestone

Storm WR/LB Lawrence Samuels is about to make history. Stop us if you've heard this before.

A week ago, he became the AFL's career receptions leader. Now, Samuels enters Saturday night's home game against Orlando needing only six catches to become the first player in AFL history with 1,000 career catches.

Here's a list of the top receivers in football (all leagues) history:
