ORLANDO - TT Toliver was a fan favorite with the Orlando Predators for years and years. He had over 10,000 career all-purpose yards with the Preds. It's only fitting that on a night which was 70th edition of the War on I-4 that he became the first receiver in AFL history to have 5,000 career receiving yards with two different teams.

Toliver, who is second to Damian Harrell in league history for receptions and receiving yards in a career and fourth in touchdowns has obviously had a Hall of Fame career. But the list of accolades he's putting together in his 13th season continues to grow.

With his ninth catch on Friday night in Orlando, Toliver reached the 400 reception mark in his Storm career. After catching 604 passes as a member of the Predators, Toliver is now the first man in league history to have 400 receptions with two different teams.

But TT wasn't done there. Toliver also became the first receiver in league history to amass 5,000 receiving yards with two different teams. He had 7,734 receiving yards in his six years with the Predators.

Toliver finished the night with 11 catches for 115 yards and two TDs. The Storm fell to 0-6 in a 42-40 loss.
