Mussin Muhammad and Steve Smith, underrated duo. But man, I'm glad i witnessed Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson 😂😂
Calvin manages a Taco Bell near me.
Cris Carter and randy moss. Randall Cunningham as qb.

Yep
03 was the year I became a Panthers fan ... def a great duo ....
Crazy how many times Jerry Rice dominates this list. Simply the best. 💯
He definitely dominated in his time but moss t.o. and tron top 3 ( stick um and level of competition)
Rice is # 4

Jerry Rice 6x.. every other TEAM - 5 or fewer.. Damn Jerry!
OMG!! Randy Moss07 season with New England didn't make the cut ? DAMN!!!! Not a critique. Just surprised!!!
Nice breakdown. Thanks for this!!
Talk about an out of nowhere, flare up season for Brandon Lloyd in 2010 when he was 29. That was his ONLY 1,000 season and Pro Bowl year.
Jerry Rice's 1990 season might've been his finest. Led the nfl in catches, yards, and touchdowns. Triple crown for the team of the 80s
1995. Should’ve been MVP that year. 122/1848/15 is absolute insanity. And he was 33.
I think Cooper Kupp is arguably better. More yards, triple crown, plus Super Bowl MVP. But again it's just arguable. Not a certainty
@@DJonesIsKingwe're talking about jerry rice, not cooper kupp
@Fireyninjadog I understand that. You said he had the best season ever, and I brought up Kupp as alternate to that answer
@DJonesIsKing I said 1990 might have been RICE'S finest season, not the greatest ever. The greatest of all time is probably 2007 randy moss, 2002 marvin harrison, or 2021 cooper kupp
Henry Ellard belongs in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Ellard and Harold Jackson both belong among those who aren’t in in my opinion.
@@fortynights1513Ellard is a borderline HoFer but no way does Jackson deserve to be in. He just doesn't have HoF numbers for a wideout, even one from the 1960's
Henry won't get in until he admits the truth about tower 7.

R.I.P to the legendary Hall Of Famer WR Cliff Branch one of the most if not the fastest WR in the 1970's with the Raiders winning all 3 Super Bowl Championships🙏🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽 2:40
Jerry Rice is without any doubt the most legendary wide receiver throughout the entire history of the National Football League! No other receiver makes a legend out of him!
Jerry had Montana and Young his whole career. So many WR's did not have that greatness throwing to them.
@@tesstickles1280 Jerry's best statistical season was in 1995. The back up was throwing him the ball 50% of the time because Steve Young got injured. He made Rich Gannon an MVP by putting up 1200 yards at age 40. Enough with this Randy Moss BS.
Best player ever!
@@tesstickles1280His 2 best seasons he had neither! He played with 7 different QB’s in 87 when he set the td record. And had Grbac half the 95 season when he set the yardage record!
@@thesentinelsfootballchanne3212And he played with 7 different QBs in 87! When he set the td record. So his 2 best seasons statistically? He had neither QB the majority!
He's no Cris Carter, but Brandon Lloyd has some of the best hands of all time. Criminally under-appreciated. His highlight reels hold up against anyone as far as spectacular catches go!
Kinda crazy that arguably the two best receivers of the 00’s, Moss and TO, never led the league in receiving yards.
Everything I'm saying is then @1&2 # 2&3 in most categories yet not on list shows level of competition became greater in new millennium with dudes flashing for a year Sept Megatron and a.b.
Even crazier, not a single patriot WR led either. Yet they won Hella super bowls lol. Defense wins championship
Harold Jackson and Harold Carmichael were teammates for a couple years, and in 73 when Carmichael led in receiving yards, Jackson (who was traded for Roman Gabriel) led in receiving touchdowns for the Rams.
Eagles were one of the few teams in the late 60s and 70s that focused on the passing game.
Hawkins, Jackson, Zimmerman, and Carmichael.
Defense was really bad, however, until Vermeil came.
Growing up a Raider fan I saw Steve Largent twice a year make crazy catches!
It must have been extremely disappointing when Jerry Rice actually got you to the Superbowl and Randy Moss got you nowhere.
Most Raiders fans don't know how to use a computer let alone log onto the interwebs. Well done.
@@jennyanydots2389 sadly your mom didn’t know how to swallow or keep a Planned Parenthood appointment
Shout out to Neil Lomax one of the forgotten and underappreciated quarterbacks of the 1980s!!
@@swrcomswrcom5306 he was slanging
The WR Mount Rushmore is Steve Largent, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, and Don Hutson...because Jerry Rice is the entire mountain. THE GOAT OF GOATS. #Flash80
youre crazy to think fitzgerald doesnt belong on wr rushmore
Some overlooked Cardinal receivers on here
Right?! What a great history lesson.
I got Fitz at # 5 after moss t.o. tron, rice and boldin around 15
For sure I can't believe I don't even remember Rob Moore
Andre Johnson was such an incredible player to watch as a kid. He was everything to the texans when i was a kid
STERLING SHARPE NEEDS TO BE IN THE HALL OF FAME!!!!
Absolutely he does he really do please don't keep him waiting
Short career- would have been for sure
3:24 - 3:28 Bro, that was so damn cold. "Hey, you want this? Too bad!"
It's still wild to me that a wide receiver has yet to win a league MVP or have 2,000 yards in a season.
Burroughs always had that energy from what I've seen. He a Funny dude
With all the passing these days and 17 games, I’m sure 2k is just around the corner
Calvin Johnson was a heartbeat away from 2k
Cooper kupp should've won but nfl as usual gave it to qb
Moss, TO, Fitz, CC and DaVante Adams never made this list...
Like those eagles' white helmets with the green wings!
Don Hudson is the one responsible for paying the way for all of Wide Receivers we see in the NFL from then to right now period
Hutson. If you’re going to try and sound smart, at least get the man’s name right.
Jerry Rice, man… Legendary
It's crazy that the league leading numbers are TE numbers nowdays, 57 catches for 1100-ish yards, and the number of years Rice was featured, that's dominance- they know you're coming and you still torch 'em.
Muhsin and Steve so underrated together 🔥
Sucks Cliff Branch made the hall after he died!
Hopefully yall can do these vids for the defensive stats too, this is great
Sack leaders would be interesting
@@fortynights1513As would tackles and interceptions.
Jerry Rice 1995 was a great year in particular because he played with Elvis Grbac for four or five games instead of Young.
Grbac was probably like just throw it to Jerry.
Also many receivers had high yardage totals that year. Jerry stood alone at the top though.
@@augustineirigoyen4400They also didn’t have much of a running game and TO wasn’t drafted yet.
It was actually eight. Young got hurt multiple times that year in games he didn’t start. Just like how Rice led the league in 1986 with Joe Montana having to contemplate retirement and catching passes from Jeff Kemp and Mike Moroski 1/2 the year. Didn’t matter who the QB was, he produced. The juvenile Moss nuthuggers are like Bron Stan’s having to make childish excuses as to why their guy isn’t on the level of the actual 🐐.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot2Young didn’t play in the bulk of eight games in 95? I thought it was five.
That just makes me wonder how well Rice and that 95 Niners team could’ve done if Young is healthy the entire year.
It makes me wonder if Rice could’ve gotten another two receptions and three touchdowns and won the triple crown.
Maybe he put up 1,900 yards or possibly even closer to where Calvin Johnson ended up in 2012.
And maybe the 49ers win the games they lost to New Orleans and Carolina and go 13-3, dodge Green Bay and repeat.
Surprising Randy Moss, and Terrell Owens never led the league in receiving yards.
Right?! Yet they are in the Top 5 in all kinds of receiving numbers.
Shows how the game and level of competition changed after rice took the league by surprise every team tried to get a great wr1 to try and replicate SF success yet 2 of the most dominate teams after the 90s have few "superstar" receivers. Moss and t.o. not being on here is crazy though Megatron probably could have had every record if didn't retire early dude dominated
@@TylerSmith-vz3chThe Patriots I presume are one of those dominant teams and who else were you thinking of?
Hard to believe nobody gained 1,000 yds. in the 1977 season. And there wasn't even a strike that season.
It was the last season before the Mel Blount rule was implemented, and there were a lot of good defenses that year.
There were five teams that allowed under 200 points, and ultimately 14 that allowed 16.4 points per game or less.
Not hard to believe. Still a 14 game season un 1978. Not a very evolved passing game just yet. I saw Randy Moss throw a box of newborn puppies into a Taco Bell dumpster two sundays ago.
That’s precisely why the passing game got opened up the following year with the abolition of the Mel Blount “chuck” rule. Guys could contact you all the way down the field before 1978. Passing game has evolved three times…there’s the Don Hutson era to 1977, 1978 to 2003, and 2004 to the present. It is much easier to pass and catch now than it was 50 years ago.
@@manuginobilisbaldspot2 Guys were contacting the youngsters all the way off the field as well. They should probably make a rule against beefin' them kids toilet rings out.
always a good day when NFL Throwback posts something like this... their mini doc's are fire
My personal favorites were Sterling and David "Muscle Beach" Boston
12 Gordon of the Browns is a sad story! Just could not get his game right after that great season!
Really enjoyed seeing some of my old favorites from when I started watching.
Salute to all of these amazing wide receivers
A lot of excellent players, and a few who are overlooked too.
@@fortynights1513 indeed
Great clips!!!! Great players!!! Some highlights!
Drew Pearson Mr.Clutch #88 was so incredible player who caught the famous Hail Mary pass from Roger Staubach vs Minnesota in 1975 4:08
Your UA-cam Channel Is My Favorite NFL Throwback
There’s Jerry Rice and there’s everyone else. Period. The 🐐
Thank you! How about sack leaders and tackling leaders also?
Good Lord Jerry Rice. Randy Moss was impossible at times, but Rice was built different.
The wide receiver talent is so deep in this league. There are so many guys on this list that have been forgotten or people never even heard of. League leaders completely overlooked.
It's absolutely amazing and real awesome at the same time to see a Wide Receiver like Cliff Branch wearing #21 it gives you SPEED like a 99 overall speed 2:55
Fun fact Roger Carr is Derek Carr and David Carr’s father
They could have used him as a receiver
Wrong Roger Carr lmao. That isn’t their dad
Watching this video, it seems like Cliff Branch easily could've played in the current era. Man had SPEED speed!
Wes Chandler was real something for all the Chargers Fans 6:40
Cliff Branch caught a 99 yard touchdown pass from Jim Plunkett 3:06
In the 1970s, for receiver to gain over 1000 yards in a season was no less than special. The identity for most teams was still to run first, and the rules that were in place were not over protective for the QB or Wr, like today. And up until 1978, it wasn’t even a full 16 game schedule yet.
Mike evans getting the lead next season
1:38 9.4 speed sounds like a Patriot to me! 😂
Great quality video from the 1970s!!
28:47 you can clearly see him let Kup get by.
When it comes to Wide receivers Jerry Rice is the 🐐
Brandon Lloyd so underrated. He made some really tough catches wherever he played ✌️
Matt Stafford got his hands all over this list low key.
Underrated QB
Crazy how Drew Pearson can be the receiving yardage leader in 1977 in the entire league with only 870 yards. Just shows you how much the passing game has evolved.
Chud comment. I beet my dawg after reading this.
There were also some very good defenses then.
@@fortynights1513 That were not as physically dominant or skilled as todays defense. Take any team from the '70's and put them against a modern team and they would get crushed by multiple touchdowns. Heck I would put my money on most modern major college teams dominating any team from the 1970's NFL.
@@jennyanydots2389I don’t doubt that, but the fact remains, five teams in 1977 had a defense that allowed less than 200 points in 14 games, and we have to go to 15th to find a defense that allowed even 17 points per game rounded up.
Not that today’s defenders aren’t as good, if the rules were the same today as then, they’d probably have an even bigger impact than they do, but I’d say there was a good group of defenders in 77 too.
@@fortynights1513 I really don't think so. They were using basic concepts, facing basic offenses and none of them were doing the kind of things to gain a physical advantage players are doing today. The best defense of 77 would probably be toward the bottom if not at the very bottom today... the offensive linemen are a lot heavier and way more athletic... QBs would never see real pressure and those O lineman will manhandle any d line from that era if they decided to run the ball. NFL teams from 40+ years ago are not comparable. Maybe some individuals are but, probably a lot fewer than we think... unless we juice them up and put them on full time modern training schedules starting freshman year in high school.
How Torry Holt is still not in the hall of fame, is what I want to know!
Exactly. His 2006 TD catch vs the Seahawks still blows my mind 🤯
@@EricStuder89 heck yeah!!! He's the only player and wideout to have over 1300 yards in 6 consecutive seasons; not even Jerry Rice accomplish that feat
Jerry Rice is the GOAT
So funny to see all these Cardinals leading the league in receiving...and not one of them was Larry Fitzgerald 😂
Big ups to Andre Johnson and Calvin Johnson for league leading numbers in back to back years.
But ain't nobody touching my man Rice.
A back to back then a few years later 3 straight!!! Didn't think he'd be the only guy in the last 50 years to lead the league in receiving yards more than twice.
Jerry Rice wasn’t the most gifted or extraordinarily talented, but he was an exceptionally talented OVERACHIEVER with an extraordinary drive and work ethic, who maximized his God-given ability as much or more than any other NFL player we consider all-time great in the history of the sport.
Jerry Rice - 6
Randy Moss - 0
There is no debate of who the greatest WR ever is.
Agreed. Moss doesn't even have 1000 catches or any rings, but he did lose 2 Super Bowls on 2 different teams 😂😂
Vid idea top rushing back from every team
ua-cam.com/video/MjWW84tsRiM/v-deo.htmlsi=cuswDHHAc1finEhP
Tyreek Hill really dominated last season with 1,799 yards…The Dolphins are a fast paced offense with him in the lineup. Michael Thomas made history by catching 150 passes with a single-season record that season. Marvin Harrison Sr. was a pass-catching machine with 143 catches in one season.
Yeah beat CeeDee by 50yrds
CeeDee also had a productive season as well. Nobody could stop him either
How great was Jerry Rice? He was so great that you never were amazed at what he did year after year in 3 different decades. For him it looked as the most matter-of-factly thing on a football field to be so far and above any wide receiver, and there are more than a few hall-of-fame wide receivers who played in his time who entered the league after him and left before him. When he made the great catches, put up the numbers he did, and broke the all-time career records, you just said, "He's Jerry Rice, did you ever expect him to do anything less?"
Why didn’t we get this any sooner?
Some real legends on this reel....and some underrated guys too. Thanks for these cool videos!
For Jerry Rice to lead this category 6xs in his career... how can he NOT be the GOAT for WRs...
Love this vid.. honestly Shocking only 1 Raider on here ,, thought Time Brown or Fred Biletnikoff would’ve made it! Salute Cliff Branch tho 🫡☠️
Biletnikoff, Branch, and Casper, what a receiving corps
@@fortynights1513 legendary !..
Do they even do the team summaries like the use to? I used to like watching them in the late 90s early 2000s
Team instantly thought of Jerry Rice and Randy Moss.⬇️
I thought of Calvin and kupp 😂
I’m kinda amazed Moss never led in receiving yards.
With love from Chato Tanzania
Karibu
Ahsante sana
there are 5 guys on here who made it more than one season, Julio Jones with Matt Ryan throwing to him, Antonio Brown with Ben Rothlisburger throwing to him, Marvin Harrison with Payton Manning, Jerry Rice with Joe and Steve Young, and the last one (first on on the list) is Steve Largent with friggin Jim Zorn and Dave Kreig throwing to him, neither of whom was even drafted (in fact Kreig's college, MILTON, isn't even around any longer lol), so, you tell me, did the QB make the WR or did the WR make the QB?
You answer that question truthfully and the only answer you come out with is Steve Largent is GOAT.
Cooper kupp 2021 greatest WR season of ALL TIME.
2010 Brandon Lloyd and 2013 Josh Gordon. You just had to be there 🥹
Most people don't realize that Steve Largent led the NFL in receiving yds.
twice! And he did this with Zorn and Krieg as his Q.B. they weren't bad but just think what he could've done with Montana and Young as his Q.B.
Videos like are a reminder to us of just how tragic it was that Calvin Johnson (and also Matt Stafford) spent/wasted careers at the Lions.
Video 3 of asking for all time teams for each franchise
Honestly, about 10 of these season really shocked me. Brandon Lloyd, Musin Muhammad, Rob Moore, David Boston, Josh Gordon, TY Hilton. All excellent players but never would expected being a league leader.
Mike Vick led the league in animal abuse charges... no one saw it coming. Maybe the dawgs but they were too scared to say anything. Livin' off Mike's food stock too lazy to get a real job. Dawgs are the lowest of all the lord's creatures on earth.
Alot of those guys quickly became the 2nd or 3rd best receivers on their own teams
A lot of that might have to to with better players on better teams sitting out the last few games of the seasons while other teams are either fighting to get a spot or are stat padding
@@user-fp2fl9ul2e Musin Muhammad was legitimately good, he just happened to get stuck playing with the Chicago Bears for half his career... being the #1 wr on the bears generally means you won't be remembered as one even if you deserve to be.
@@jennyanydots2389 agreed. And I’m sure he had trash QBs as well. Brandon Lloyd was know to make a few acrobatic caches a game never would’ve thought he was a league leader. I had him in fantasy 2012 and all he could do was catch 7 yd comeback. Boston was a beast for a minute.
@@XavierCoolDude What I remember most about David Boston are his biceps... that dude was jacked.
Neil Lomax is one of the most underrated QBs in NFL history.
Too bad he was gang graped to deaf in prison in 1982
Lance Alwoth had the greatest year. 1600 yards in 14 games.
Crazy how Tyreek is only on here once but he’s supposed to be Jerry Rice’s successor lol
The fact Otis Taylor still isnt in the Hall of Fame is straight up a crime
Harold Jackson is criminally underrated
He gets overlooked because he played 40+ years ago and for teams that aren’t really talked about much.
Jackson did however retire second in career receiving yards, and top ten in receptions and receiving touchdowns, had the most of each in the decade of the 70’s, and did so without a prime Hall of Fame quarterback. Also had more yards per reception than a few Hall of Fame receivers of his generation (including Branch and Carmichael who were also in this video).
Doesn’t have the playoff career most Hall of Fame receivers did in his time, but he also never played with a prime Hall of Fame quarterback.
I’d say Harold Jackson belongs in Canton, but that’s just me.
@@fortynights1513 it took forever for Carmichael to make the HOF
@@ervinghenderson4780There is this mentality among older Hall of Fame voters that if you put up a lot of yardage receiving, it’s because your team was trailing and the stats were in garbage time.
But it doesn’t automatically mean the player couldn’t contribute to a successful team, and in Jackson’s case, he never played in a Super Bowl, but he was a part of a number of top five offenses in Los Angeles and New England.
That's crazy that Randy Moss, T.O. and Cris Carter ain't even on here lol
Wild that neither Randy Moss nor T.O are on here
Bro... What kind a monster Jerry Rice was? Jesus
Randy Moss or TO never led the league receiving yards. Had no clue
Sterling Sharpe RIP was the prototype WR and perfect for Favre. Marvin Harrison was nice.
But we all know Rice is the goat.
Sharpe is still alive
@@fortynights1513😂😂😂😂
Got an idea nfl throwback. Please make a list with the ultimate team for every franchice. The best player on each position
Wow so many colts players
Touchdown T O is the goat🐐
There's only one Jerry Rice 10:55
I discovered J.T. Smith a few weeks ago(I watch old football games on youtube. In fact, I watch shows about the beginning of football back in 1867!)
Notice, the commentator mentions names not mentioned here - Jerry Rice breakes . . . James Lofton's receiving record. I can think of Bucs Wr Mark Carrier, who had 1422 yards in 1989. Pittsburgh Steelers Wr John Stallworth had 1395 yards in 1984, where Lynn Swann never had more than a 1000 yards in his career!
Randy Moss never had more receiving yards in a single season!
Brandon Lloyd - one season
Larry Fitzgerald didn't get mentioned(didn't have a season with the most receiving yards)!
So the Eagles had two Harolds, one short and one tall, lead the league in receiving back to back years
Gotta say, this category is not at all impressive to me; it's a sign that your team has extremely shallow depth in the receiving corps if you rely on one go-to guy for all your passes. Also, imagine if the free agency system as we know it today existed in the 1980s; I highly doubt the 49ers could have paid Rice enough to stick around for that long
I get what you mean.
If you ask me it shouldn’t be viewed as a knock on the receivers as much as a knock on the team for not having a deeper receiving corps
Somebody probably mentioned this already...this would have been better with context involved. Such as how many games played or receptions.
It is an absolute travesty Torry Holt is not in the hall of fame. Definitely one of the best WRs of that era.
Idea- interception leaders from 1970-present
Please do DPOY every year since 1970 (or inception)
2002 marvin harrison was dominant
