Garcia approaches 700
April 22, 2005 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I)
New York Dragons News Release
Dragons QB Aaron Garcia is approaching a milestone no professional football player has ever reached before. The All-Arena signal caller and 2001 Offensive Player of the Year is just six touchdown passes shy of 700 for his career. He has a decent shot of reaching that plateau this week when the Dragons host the Philadelphia Soul at the Nassau Coliseum on Sunday, April 24. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 PM and the game will be broadcasted live on NBC.
Garcia reached the 650 passing touchdown plateau versus the Arizona Rattlers in Week Five on February 27. Last year on April 18 versus the Colorado Crush he threw the 600th touchdown pass of his career. He was the first professional football player to reach both of those milestones.
In his eleventh AFL season, Garcia is still one of the league's top passers. He remains first all-time with 694 touchdowns and is second in all-time passing yards with 33,384 and in pass completions with 2,830.
The Dragons return home to the Nassau Coliseum this weekend to take on divisional rival Philadelphia Soul on Sunday April 24. Great seats are still available and fans should call 1-866-AFL-TIXX for more information.
