Jerry Rice
Career Stats: 303 games played (284 starts), 1,549 receptions, 22,895 yards, 197 TD
The pinnacle of all receivers is Rice. Every WR in the league has made an effort to model a minor aspect of their game after him during the past 20 years. It was unnecessary for him to be the fastest, tallest, or most athletic person. Rice ran clear patterns and possessed the most sure hands in football history, which made it easier for his quarterbacks to complete passes. He completely destroyed every record he ever set throughout his career. He has 171 more receptions than the runner-up, 5,812 more yards, and 41 more touchdowns. Many consider him to be the best player of all time, regardless of position, due to his overwhelming dominance over the rest of the group at his position.
