Don Maynard
Career Stats: 186 games played (159 starts), 633 receptions, 11,834 yards, 88 TD
Don Maynard began his career as a New York Giants draft pick, but played the majority of his career for the New York Titans (later became the Jets). The Giants will always regret letting the Hall of Fame wide receiver go. Maynard participated in 123 games between 1960 and 1968, catching 499 catches for 9,351 yards, and scoring 78 touchdowns. Maynard retired with the most receiving yards in the history of the sport (11,834). Maynard is one of just seven wide receivers whose career started before 1980 (he was picked in ’58) among the 50 wide receivers with at least 10,000 career yards. Throughout the 1960s, Maynard dominated the league and established the bar for elite WR play.
