During the 2015 season, Whitehead led the IFL in receiving yards (1,032) and receptions (81). He also added 17 TD receptions, ranking second in the IFL. Whitehead was a threat on the ground as well, rushing for a career-high six touchdowns. Whitehead became just the 11th player in IFL history to top 1,000 receiving yards in a single season.
