Stafford points up then yeets it into triple coverage & Johnson makes every defender look helpless.... An absurd player & a QB with true faith in his WRs😂😂

Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald both top 5 receivers of all time, and yet they have no rings smh. Lions and Cards fan, I'm sorry

Larry Fitz might be the most underrated receiver all time... 22 different qbs in 17 years

Calvin Johnson was a menace with a god tier nickname

Want to know how great Larry was. He has more tackles than drops, he's played with more quarterbacks than he has dropped passes, 15 years, he's played more years than he has drops.

I’m not the only one in this comment section who thought Justin Blackmon thought would be an absolute monster in the NFL.

People saying Mike Evans is as good as Megatron is insane. If you ever watched the both play and didn't notice the immense difference between the two, you don't know ball lol

3:25 Cooper Kupp’s 2021 season reminds me of Crazy Legs Hirsch’s 1951 season. Both led the league in receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and receptions (as well as receiving first downs for Kupp), and both played for the Rams in Los Angeles, and I believe the Rams won a title both years too.

Andre Johnson was a absolute BEAST with the Houston Texans a 1st Round 3rd overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft National Champ in 2001 University of Miami Hurricanes a National Championship team but in H-Town he was absolutely special strongest arms super splendid hands and excellent speed now a member of the Pro Football Hall Of Fame class of 2024

I actually forgot the Raiders drafted Amari Cooper. The few times the Raiders don't draft first round busts, they trade away the players in their prime.

7:00: Just say Redskins, He wasn’t drafted by the Commanders. As a historian, it is always important to be historically accurate when stating certain facts.

When a defensive coordinator's gameplan is to line up 2 dbs on a single receiver, you know you're in trouble. Megatron was an absolute BEAST. Imagine getting in position and looking across from you and there's two guys standing almost shoulder to shoulder JUST for you

Just imagine Larry Fitzgerald catching passes for most of his career from the likes of Joe Montana and Steve Young...

Wes Chandler was so underrated. Go back to 1981 and Saints fans were pissed when Bum traded him four games into the season.

Love this channel. Can you guys please bring back Caught in the Draft? One of the best concepts for an NFL series ever

There's only 3 WRs I thought were lock Pro Bowlers at the very least: Megatron, Larry Fitzgerald, and Charles Rogers (Randy I didn't see many games in college). Rogers looked like he was an NFL All Pro in college. It's a shame he didn't reach his potential.

We will NEVER see a Larry Fitzgerald or Calvin Johnson ever again.

I would love to see a team with all the Johnson's at WR. Calvin, Andre, and Keyshawn!

Justin Blackmon was the most naturally talented Jaguar I've ever seen. He was a stud from the second half of 2012 through the first half of 2013. Shame he couldn't beat his demons

My favorite WR of all time is John Jefferson during his Chargers days. Nothing more exciting than watching the Air Coryell attack in action.

Marvin Harrison jr gonna join this list and potentially malik.

This faster pace is pretty amazing

Ahmad Rashad was also an analyst for the nfl on nbc in the late 80s and early 90s

You guys should do a video about every teams biggest outlier season. Like the 2017 jags or the 2022 rams

I don’t want an early retirement to ever define Calvin Johnson or have people forget how truly amazing he was. He is without question the best WR I’ve ever seen in my life

do a piece on how some teams draft well on specific positions plse??

Love Watching Your KZfaq Channel NFL Throwback

Do one like this except for RBs

Larry has the most diving catches, one handed catches, diving one handed catches, leaping catches, contested catches, and 2x more mosses than moss

Yep, Justin Blackmon: What could have been

Crazy how the "Best Catches in NFL History" videos leave out some of these crazy catches from before the 2000s Example: 18:23

Irving Fryar was a pass-catching machine during his time in the league who had a great career. Justin Blackmon was a draft bust due to his off the field issues and suspensions. Keyshawn Johnson was a pass-catching machine who enjoyed a great career. Andre Johnson is regarded as one of the greatest wideouts in Texans history. Larry Fitzgerald is regarded as one of the greatest wideouts in Cardinals history. Braylon Edwards was a draft bust coming out of Michigan. Desmond Howard was a return specialist who won a Super Bowl as a member of the Packers. I didn’t have a clue Ahmad Rashad played in the NFL. Peter Warrick was a draft bust because he never had a 1,000-year receiving season in his NFL career. Michael Westbrook was never a true superstar in the league. A.J. Green was definitely a superstar wideout with the Bengals. Sammy Watkins was a solid wideout who battled with injuries and inconsistency plays, so he won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs. Amari Cooper was definitely a star wideout with had a good career so far. Corey Davis was definitely a draft bust who wasn’t a great player.🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈

While it was good to see the Bucs were repped by Keyshawn, I'm a little miffed that Mike Evans wasn't on this list . . . until a friend reminded me that he was taken in 2014 as a 7th Pick in the 1st round.

Charles Rogers was a Nick Saban product at Michigan State before the Alabama run

Block in the back 1:58. What a whiffed call

the drop zone poster of Braylon Edwards is nasty work 😂😂

Bengals just chucking in WRs in the 1st Rd. I remember them drafting John Ross too

justin blackmon had so much potential, coulda been the next andre johnson but then drug happened...

What I find shocking is how few of these players, even the hall of famers, failed to win a Super Bowl for the teams that drafted them. If I’m not mistaken, crazy legs was the only one of this entire group that got a national championship well before the Super Bowl era and Desmond Clark got one SB but for a different team than the one who drafted him.

17:34 If the talent pool split with the USFL doesn’t happen, then Irving Fryar is probably not going first overall. Reggie White, Steve Young, and his teammate Mike Rozier were all among those already taken by the USFL. That said, really good career though; retired seventh in career receiving yards I believe, and could’ve gotten even more if he had better quarterbacks than who the Patriots had in the 1980’s.

The nfl throwback/game preview guy should be a game show host. His ball knowledge is also probably insane

LSU is wide receiver U. We used to be DBU and still are to some extent but LSU and in particular Louisiana pumps out great WR’s all the dam time. For instance, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, Devonta Smith, Cee Dee Lamb, Malik Nabers. Brian Thomas Jr, and Terrance Marshall Jr a 2nd round pick by the Panthers in 2021. All of these guys are from Louisiana and 5 of them played for LSU. Lamb and Smith were born and raised here but went to Oklahoma and Alabama respectively.

Pretty sure Desmond Howard never played for the commanders

That Desmon Howard story is awesome.

Charles Rogers would've been one of the greats. RIP

Love me some Larry dude was a beast idk about top 5 ever but he up there

In his 17 year career, Larry Fitzgerald played with 22 QBs who only earned 3 pro bowls between all of them, yet he's still #2 all time in receiving yards and receptions and #6 in TDs. Also had the greatest hands and he made spectacular catches consistently like they were nothing. His 2008-09 postseason was absolute peak WR play, he had 30 catches for 546 yards and 7 touchdowns in FOUR games. A WR has never carried a team as hard as he carried the cardinals that year

Irving Fryar deserves a gold jacket PLUS to say there weren’t any HoFers in the NFL Draft from 84 is inaccurate. Most if not all of those big name USFL guys were drafted by NFL teams even if they didn’t report right away to the NFL

Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, and Wes Chandler. Seems like if you want a future HOF receiver, you take him with the third pick 😉.

Marvin Harrison jr. has the most hype for a receiver I’ve seen. I think he’s going to live up expectations and more, 4 inches taller than his dad

Why does Fitzgerald always get slept on He’s literally the most recent HOF in this video I could see if he’s forgotten cause he played in the 60s

Irving fryar more than any other receiver in NFL history, proved that he could go and play with any quarterback in any system, and be one of the top guys at the position regardless of his situation. he is the first player in NFL history too record 1000+ receiving yards on 3 different teams and caught an NFL record of at least 1 touchdown pass from 19 different quarterbacks. This guy deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

Imagine if Larry fitz had even a HALF serviceable QB during his career. Dude put up all time numbers with accountants throwing to him. Notice when he had Palmer and Warner he was dominating even more than he already did.

Do running backs next!

You hit the nail on the head with Wes Chandler. He was such a remarkable player. He really should be talked about more, because he would tear up the NFL if he played today.

NFL i loved the top 10 FA fails, can we get a top 10 FA wins ?! please !

From Georgia Tech to the Detroit Lions, Megatron was nearly unstoppable!

God I love AJ green, it makes me so sad we never even got close with him, he's such a good dude and good story...

I freakin Luv This Channel!!

I always say this, if Larry Fitzgerald had a franchise QB and a solid team around him like Jerry Rice did. Larry would've broken all of those records, had at least one ring, and easily would've been considered the best WR of all time in NFL history. He put up great numbers with over 20 different QB's and team changes.

I’m a Ravens fan, but I have to say that Megatron is hands down the best receiver on this list followed closely by Larry Fitzgerald💯

Kyler Murray & Marvin Harrison Jr on the Cardinals 🏈🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bills need to draft a receiver first round now since they decided to trade away Diggs.

Man I thought Corey Davis was going to be a monster when the Titans drafted him. If you watch some of his career highlights some catches he could make were insane. At least while with the Titans you can't say he was in a great spot on a team that clearly has absolutely no understanding of how to build and use a wide receiver core. If you look back at the Titans entire history they've never had that clear #1 stud receiver (well you could argue once in AJ Brown but as we know they kept their record of not having a clue when it comes to WR's when they made the brilliant decision to trade him for what amounts to Treylon Burkes) If Derrick Mason is pretty much the widespread answer to who the best franchise wide receiver was you know you're lacking. This is the franchise that spent the #2 pick on a QB in Mariota and watch him thrive early and then decided to change offensive coordinators every year forcing him to not just learn how to play in the NFL but learn a whole new offense every year. Hmmm... I wonder why his career went down the tubes.

Now this is an interesting video

18:27 hold tf up... and we thought odell was doin it first.. man..

Just Throw Me The Damn Ball😂😂😂 16:58

Wes Chandler fit really perfectly like a GLOVE in 1981 San Diego Chargers team with Dan Fouts throwing it to him 14:22

Blackmon was a talent that was a sad case. He was one of the best college WR I ever seen

Congrats marv

Charlie taylor was basically deebo samuel before deebo samuel was himself he was the original deebo samuel based off what i was seeing cuz he did everything deebo did

😅today years old n found Ahmad Rashad played in the NFL 🤯

Julio Jones. Every qb needs a Binkee. Coaches need better roster building and make great decisions and then you might have a run. Best coaches can do make it consistently. 17:50 17:51

Blackmon just couldn't get off the bottle and didn't have a G.A. babysitting him like at ok

Seems like the #3 pick is a good omen for WR's going in the top 5.

MHJ about to join this list.

Jaguars could have had a HOF guy in Blackmon. very frustrating

This video backs up my claim that top 10 drafted WRs don't make as big a difference with regard to Super Bowls as anyone thinks. Most never make/win the Super Bowl, at least with their original team. That goes for most first rounders, too.

The Ref was the best defense vs Megatron

Sammy Watkins was another beast

52 rec as a WR got you a pro bowl in 72’…. Crazy

How is Irving Fryar not in the HoF? I mean his stats aren't great for today's game, but they seem like amazing during his time.

Wish you’d done top 6 picks so Julio Jones could be included!

Julio Jones should get a honorable mention since he was the 6th pick in 2011 Some would say he had a better career that AJ Green did

huh. didn't realize it was for LITERAL top 5, then 4, 3 etc.

Marvin Harrison Jr gotta go top 5

Man the Lions GM really loved his top-5 WR busts

It is insane that Irving Fryar isn’t in the HOF.

Sammy Watkins had the potential to be one of the greats, unfortunately we (the buffalo bills) used him like a damn battering ram😂

I’m glad they changed the name but yall really shouldn’t refer to Washington as the commanders when talking about stuff in the past lol

I firmly believe that justin blackmon would have been a hall if famer if he was sober

Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Bolden was an awesome duo

Megatron should have forced a trade instead of retiring. Imagine if he had gone and played a season or two with Brady…

Matthew Stafford had AJ Green in College but he had Calvin Johnson with Detroit Lions the Georgia and Georgia Tech connection was undeniably endless it was tremendously real awesome to watch how they connected very well it's a shame that they didn't win a Super Bowl Ring together in Detroit even though Stafford did win a ring with Los Angeles Rams in 2021 15:11

Justin Blackman could have been great. He couldn't defeat his demons 😔 he was so good

Ahmad rashad name was Robert earl moore ? Interesting

As an eagles fan. I am soooo happy geriatric jones let go of Amari cooper

Irving Fryar was pretty underrated

No Julio that’s crazy

If cooper so good why has he been on 3 teams that fast😮
