    Do quiet wide receivers get the same respect as their diva counterparts?

      Honestly, I'm not exactly sure. People loved Jerry Rice, Wes Welker, Julio Jones, Julian Edelman, Cris Carter. Ect. I but I do think we still talk about the divas a little more.

      Respectfully bro, you are so wrong about Nuke and Julio it is actually insane.
      For D-Hop has been getting press as one of the best wideouts in the league for YEARS, and he's been mostly quiet about it but a public spat with Bill O'Brien and plays like the shit he pulled on DeAngelo Hall (You showed the play but not the shit talk) have been getting publicity for years. On top of that he was widely regarded as one of the best WR's on the league during both his time on Houston and AZ.

      Julio Jones has had media coverage like with Shannon Sharpe and requesting out of Atlanta and was considered at times the best WR in the league as a contemporary to Calvin Johnson (who you mentioned), who was arguably an even more low-key superstar than anyone on this list, and took over as WR 1 for Roddy White, another low-key superstar.

      If your comparison is to Divas like TO, Ocho, Dez and OB then of course they are going to seem tame in comparison. Like dude the recency bias reeks in this video. D-Hop is to Jamaar Chase and Julio is to say, Justin Jefferson. They're going to be recognized when they're great, and probably moved on from and remembered fondly by people who drafted them in fantasy.
      I hate to tell it to you this way man but this video is plainly, ass from an informational standpoint. You say nobody acknowledges them and then show clips of national media acknowledging them. You obviously put effort into the scripting and editing but none into the research. You're good at this bro. But do better.

      @@c9manic959 The point of this video was to highlight guys who I think got less attention than their counterparts but were as good or better.
      Julio was second to MegaTron for elite traits, then he was second to AB for showmanship, but he was second to neither in production. Even later in the 2010's, Michael Thomas and OBJ were seen as better than him by some.
      Appreciate the feedback even if I disagree, it helps from my end to understand what people are seeing when they watch the videos.
      My comps were to TO, Dez, Ochocinco, AB, and OBJ for these guys who they were easily comparable to and honestly better than for most of them (minus TO) but I get what you are saying.
      There is a balance I am trying to strike on how far to go down the informational rabbit hole, entertainment value, and personal bandwidth to make these.
      Again, I honestly appreciate the feedback.

    Julio is one of my favorite receivers of all time, dude was so amazing🔥 Im definitely expecting him to be a hall of famer.
    The only thing that brings an argument to his hall of fame debate is his receiving TD's. And that was because he was literally double teamed every time in the end zone

      @sandyscheeks9624 It would be shocking if Julio didn't get in. Even with the lack of TD's it's going to be hard to keep him out. Especially because the Falcons were solid during his time there.

      Julio Jones' issue was that he had Matt Ryan as a QB. Matt Ryan was an OK QB , but loaded with offensive weapons throughout his years.

      @SamirSmith-x4x So by overlooked, I mean that AB and OBJ got more attention than Julio even though Julio was the most talented WR in the NFL. He never got the full MegaTron type of respect even though his ability was comparable. I don't mean it as he got ZERO recognition, just that he didn't get the type of respect other physical freak athletes have gotten. Especially since Julio's production was on par with anyone during his era. I don't know, maybe I'm off base but I felt like he didn't get respected as the clear best WR during any stretch except the SB year.
