The wide receiver position seems pretty straight forward to evaluate but ‘oh contraire’ my fellow readers. Let’s take two players for example: Duriel Harris and Howard Twilley.
Harris ranks 6th in franchise receiving yards but he would never be mentioned among the great WRs in Dolphins history. Meanwhile, Twilley is a famous figure in the Dolphins run in the 70’s but his stats show he put up very little production in those seasons; only once exceeding 500 yards receiving in any of his 11 seasons.
Therefore, to make the top 10, the player had to put up stats and make a meaningful contribution to the team’s success.
