Put Brady on here for him sending inspirational texts to every WR ever.

Jerry Rice was just different. Larry sits at number two all time in receiving yard. He’s behind Jerry by 5.4k yards. To put that in perspective, Derrick Mason sits at number twenty-eight. He’s behind Fitz by 5.4k yards. So the difference from 28-2 is the same as 2-1. Astonishing.

[LeBatakum]

Larry’s stats are honestly super impressive. For most of his career—outside of Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer—he played with a rotating door of god awful QBs

[FallacyXI]

I understand why he's not on this list but what could have been for Sterling Sharpe. He had 8100 yards and 65 TDs in just 7 seasons in Green Bay. He was forced to retire after the 1994 season due to injury at age 29 and probably would have racked up all time level stats with HoF QB Favre had he stayed healthy.

The main reason that Julio didn't get many touchdowns is because he almost was never targeted in the end zone. Of the like 60 touchdowns he has, the majority of them were him bringing it in from 20+ yards out. This is because both the falcons HC's and himself realized that he could draw two or even 3 people away from everyone else in the end zone, and since the falcons have had a good receiving core for his entire career, (gonzalez, white, ridley, sanu, etc.) it would leave a good receiver in a one on one where it would be much easier to score. I would bet my life that if Julio had demanded the ball similar to Brown, he would dominate given his 6'3 frame and vertical, but the falcons offense would suffer. It's one of the reason's he's my favorite receiver ever; he's a class act.

*Another thing to note about Jerry Rice is that he put up HOF statlines in run-heavy offenses his first 10 years in the NFL (1985-1994).*

[kjuan]

The fact that calvin played the least seasons on this list and is still top 5 goes to show you how good he was

[spencermaddox]

Randy Moss in his prime was absolutely unreal.

[j.peters]

I am so glad you gave Don Hutson some love. People don't realize it but he was the best wide receiver of the first 50 years of the NFL and his stats back that up.

[zachhalverstam]

“Hopefully Antonio brown has another few more great years in Tampa”

How we wish

[royalnegus]

My only issue is Sterling Sharpe not being on this list. The number don’t lie, he was Jerry Rice main counterpart before the injury.

[andydrews]

Steve Smith is eighth all time in career receiving yards and twelfth all time in career receptions. Won a WR triple crown in 2005 playing with Jake Delhomme(!!!) on an offense that ranked 28th in pass attempts that season. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[brendonmarcum]

Ochocinco is the most underrated player of all time because of his on field shenanigans, his footwork was out of the world, and the numbers were still there, but he just played for a bad team and had a mid qb, and he could create separation unlike any other, he is obv top 10, but he isn’t in the HOF for his on field celebrations

[richardlevin]

My favorite Jerry Rice stat is that he is the only non kicker in the top 50 scoring leaders (he's #38)

[gridirongod]

Honorable Mentions of Torry Holt, Sterling Sharpe, Issac Bruce and James Lofton (the 80s Moss)

[aaronblack]

Literally zero people arguing against Jerry Rice. That’s how you know it’s all time levels of greatness

[X-Reload-X]

I think Brady needs to be on this list cause of the way he wills his receivers to make great catches

[thebonanzabanana]

So happy to see my man Andre Johnson. As a Texans Fan he helped me be able to watch the games.

[arizonawildcat]

“Who knows, maybe Brown can have a couple great years and Tampa” this didn’t age well
