Arizona's 2004 TE Centerpiece with 9-TD Breakout Season
Steve Fleming was the centerpiece of Arizona's 2004 passing attack, delivering a standout season with 24 catches, 222 yards, and 9 touchdowns—a 37.5% TD-per-catch rate that defined his elite red-zone efficiency. His differentiator wasn't just stats but his intensity: he played special teams, showed relentless pursuit on every route, and earned Phil Steele preseason Big 12 honors for his 2005 outlook. Fleming's personality was marked by quiet leadership and a 'Flem Squad' mentality that rallied teammates. While no major injury history is recorded, his 2003 season saw limited production (2 receptions), making his 2004 surge a true breakout. For any team seeking a high-intensity, red-zone specialist TE with proven scoring prowess and team-first grit, Fleming is a perfect fit.
