Comparing statistics of players from different eras is usually pointless. The only fair measuring stick is to determine how dominant players were in their time compared to their peers. Even though Don Hutson (6-1, 183) lined up tight to the tackle more than he split wide during his 11 seasons, he was a receiver nonpareil compared to all the others of his day. The choices here include those listed as offensive ends into the 1960s. While Jordy Nelson had been rapidly climbing the list prior to his knee injury, current players weren’t included.
