Early years

Decker attended Rocori High School in Cold Spring, Minnesota.[1] He was present in school when the Rocori High School shooting took place, hiding in a cupboard with other students until they were rescued by police officers.[2][3] Decker was a three-sport athlete in football, basketball, and baseball. In each sport he was awarded all-conference, all-area and all-section honors. Additionally, Decker was named the football team MVP two years in a row. During his prep football career, he had 2,156 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns.[4]

College career

Decker attended the University of Minnesota.[5] He made his collegiate debut against Kent State and had a single reception for a 39-yard touchdown from quarterback Bryan Cupito.[6] On September 23, in a game at Purdue, he completed a 22-yard pass.[7] As a freshman, Decker finished with 378 receiving yards and three touchdowns.[8]

As a sophomore, Decker's role with the offense expanded. After recorded four receptions for 49 receiving yards in a season-opening loss to Bowling Green, he had seven receptions for 128 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns against Miami (OH).[9][10] In the following game, he had 12 receptions for 165 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown in a loss to FAU.[11] On October 20, he threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Ralph Spry in a loss to North Dakota State.[12] He finished with 909 receiving yards and nine touchdowns.[13] In a season where the Golden Gophers finished with a 1–11 record, Decker led the team in receptions and receiving yards, and tie for the lead in receiving touchdowns with Ernie Wheelwright.[14]

Decker started his junior season with 10 receptions for 89 receiving yards and a touchdown against Northern Illinois.[15] In the following game against Bowling Green, he had six receptions for 86 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown to go along with a 12-yard touchdown rush.[16] In next week's game against Montana State, he had nine receptions for 157 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown.[17] In the following game, he had seven receptions for 122 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown against FAU to cap a 4–0 start for the Golden Gophers.[18] After the following week's game against Ohio State where Minnesota suffered their first setback of the season, Decker had 13 receptions for 190 receiving yards against Indiana.[19][20] Minnesota qualified for the Insight Bowl against Kansas, where Decker recorded eight receptions for 149 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown in the 42–21 loss.[21] Decker finished his junior season in 2008 with 84 catches for 1,074 yards and seven touchdowns.[22] He led the 7–6 Golden Gophers in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.[23]

In early spring 2009, Decker met with Thomas Goudy, a wide-out coach in St. Louis, Missouri. Goudy helped Decker with his ball-holding technique. Decker spent three weeks in his training camp before starting the summer conditioning camp. Decker began the season with the consistent play that had been a hallmark of his Gophers' career. Through three games, Decker was sixth in the nation in receiving yards, with 183 yards against Syracuse, 113 yards against Air Force, and 119 yards and two touchdowns against California.[24][25][26] Sports Illustrated columnist Stewart Mandel declared Decker the third-best wide receiver in college football, behind Oklahoma State's Dez Bryant and Georgia's A. J. Green.[27] After the California game, Decker had eight receptions for 84 yards and two receiving touchdowns against Northwestern, and in the following game, had eight receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown against Wisconsin.[28][29] On October 27, 2009, it was announced that Decker would miss the rest of the season after suffering a sprained foot against Ohio State.[30][31] As a senior, Decker finished with 758 receiving yards and five touchdowns.[32]

Decker played outfield for the Minnesota baseball team. He was selected in the 39th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers and the 27th round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft by the Minnesota Twins.[33]

Professional career

Decker’s senior season was cut short due to surgery he underwent to repair torn ligaments in his left foot. As a result, he was unable to participate in both the NFL combine and Minnesota’s pro day workout. He scored a 43 on the Wonderlic test at the combine, the top score for the group of prospects who took the test in Indianapolis.[34]

2010 season: Rookie year
Decker in 2010

Decker was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the third round with the 87th overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.[36] He signed a four-year contract through 2013 worth $2,522,000.[37] Due to foot surgery, Decker sat out during Broncos rookie mini-camp and OTA's.[38] Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels said he hoped he'd be ready by the season's opener, “At this point we're going to err on the side of being real careful and not put them in a situation where (it’s) the last day of minicamp on June 13th and all of a sudden we have a foot injury,"[39] said McDaniels. "Hopefully, everybody will be ready by August.”

On July 27, 2010, the Broncos signed Decker to a four-year contract.[40] In the preseason, Decker led all NFL rookies in receptions, but due to the Broncos' depth at receiver, Decker did not see much action in the offense until late in the regular season. He did contribute on special teams, however, recording seven special teams tackles while returning 17 kickoffs for 429 yards giving him 25.2 yards per return average.

Toward the end of the season, the Broncos started to mix Decker into the offense more, after fellow rookie Demaryius Thomas went down with an injury.[41] Decker finished his rookie season with six receptions for 106 yards and a touchdown.[42][43]

2011 season

Decker's role in Denver's offense expanded in 2011. During a Week 1 Monday Night Football matchup at home against the Oakland Raiders, Decker returned a fourth quarter punt for a 90-yard touchdown, but the Broncos lost 23–20.[44] In Week 2, making his first professional start, Decker caught five passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns, the second on a 52-yard catch in the fourth quarter as Denver recorded their first win of the 2011 season, 24–22 over the Cincinnati Bengals.[45] On September 25, in Denver's Week 3 17–14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Decker had a career-high seven catches for 48 yards.[46] Over the next four weeks, Decker continued his steady play by hauling in 18 passes for 192 yards and four touchdowns.[47] On November 13, in a Week 10 divisional road game at Arrowhead Stadium against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, starting quarterback Tim Tebow attempted a pair of deep passes for Decker, the first almost being hauled in off a deflection and the other being knocked down by the defender, but in the fourth quarter, with Denver hanging on to a slim 10–7 lead, Tebow hit Decker on a go route deep for a 56-yard touchdown catch, Decker's only catch of the game and only Tebow's second completion, as the Broncos won 17–10 to move into a second-place tie in the AFC West with the San Diego Chargers and Chiefs.[48] In the first round of the playoffs against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Decker was taken out of the game due to injury.[49]

Decker finished the 2011 season with 44 receptions for 612 yards and eight touchdowns.[50]

2012 season

Heading into the 2012 regular season, Decker seemed primed to have a productive year with veteran quarterback Peyton Manning running Denver's offense.[51] On May 12, Broncos' offensive coordinator Mike McCoy noted that Decker and fellow receiver Demaryius Thomas were "like two little kids in a candy shop right now," when asked about the receivers eagerness to work with Manning.[52] In April, Decker attended a Colorado Rockies' baseball game with Manning[53] and began workouts with him prior to training camp.

Decker had a breakout season in 2012. In Week 3 against the Houston Texans, he had eight receptions for 136 yards.[54] From Week 4 to Week 9, he recorded seven receiving touchdowns over a span of five games.[55] In Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens, he finished with eight receptions for 133 yards and a touchdown.[56] In Weeks 16–17, he recorded back-to-back games with two receiving touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs.[57][58] Decker finished the 2012 season with 85 catches for 1,064 yards and 13 touchdowns. He finished ranked 20th in the league in terms of yards for wide receivers and the 13 touchdowns was the second most among wide receivers in 2012.[59][60] In the Broncos' Divisional Round game against the Baltimore Ravens, he had six receptions for 84 receiving yards in the 38–35 2OT loss.[61]

2013 season

In the 2013 season, Decker contributed to Peyton Manning's historical passing season.[62] In Week 3, against the Oakland Raiders, Decker finished with eight receptions for 133 yards and a touchdown.[63] In Week 7, against the Indianapolis Colts, he finished with eight receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown.[64] In Week 13, Decker had a career day against the Kansas City Chiefs with eight catches for 174 yards and team record tying four touchdowns, earning him the AFC Offensive Player of the Week award.[65][66] He followed up that performance with eight receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans.[67] In Week 16, against the Houston Texans, he finished with 10 receptions for 131 yards and two touchdowns.[68] Overall, Decker finished the 2013 season with 87 receptions for 1,288 yards, both career highs, and 11 touchdowns.[69] In the Divisional Round, against the San Diego Chargers, he had two receptions for 32 yards in the 24–17 victory.[70] In the AFC Championship against the New England Patriots, he had five receptions for 73 yards in the 26–16 victory.[71] The Broncos reached Super Bowl XLVIII, but lost 43–8 to the Seattle Seahawks. Decker was held to one reception for six yards in the Super Bowl due to tight coverage by the Seahawks' defensive backs.[72]

On March 12, 2014, Decker signed a five-year, $36.25 million contract with the New York Jets.[73] In his Jets' debut, he had five receptions for 74 yards in the 19–14 victory over the Oakland Raiders.[74] In Week 17, Decker was targeted 11 times in the season-finale 37–24 victory against the Miami Dolphins and came up with a tying career-high 10 receptions for a career-high 221 yards and a touchdown.[75] In Week 15, against the Tennessee Titans, he had seven receptions for 100 yards in the 16–11 victory.[76] In the 2014 season, he had 74 receptions for 962 receiving yards scored and five receiving touchdowns.[77]
