    Apologies if this was already covered in the first 531 pages. . .

    Name the player who homered in his first at bat, tripled in the first game of his second season, played in over 1,000 games but never homered or tripled again.

    That is correct, with 56.
    Thought that would have been trickier since it's an offensive player.
    So let's shift it a bit. You have to get to No. 29 on the list to get to a player who is not a quarterback. So who holds the record for defensive (and probably some special teams ones as well) fumble recoveries, with 32?

    Is it Ted Hendricks?

    Not him, but Hendricks and the guy we're looking for have a team they played for in common.

    Can’t remember all of his late-career stints for other teams, but is it Jason Taylor?

    Assume it’s a punt returner who blitzed a lot, but I can’t think of anyone.

    Not him, although he does have the career record for fumble return TDs with six.
    Also, Hendricks is tied for the career record with four safeties.
