Torry Holt
Career Stats: 173 games played (158 starts), 920 receptions, 13,382 yards, 74 TD
Holt’s selection in 1999 marks the start of the Rams’ outstanding offense, dubbed “The Greatest Show on Turf,” which would score more than 500 points annually on average for the following three seasons. The team’s leading home run hitter was Holt. From any location on the field, he could score. He was such a good route runner that double teams never bothered him. Watching a video of Holt’s excellent footwork and cunning cuts should be must viewing for every aspiring receiver looking to enhance their double moves. After winning the Super Bowl in his debut season, Holt went on to post six straight seasons with 1,300 or more receiving yards (tied for an NFL record with Julio Jones). Holt never received the respect he deserved because superior receivers at the time overshadowed him. But he will live on as a crucial part of one of the greatest offensives ever.
