Murray's Sunday List: The top-10 receivers in Wolf Pack history

Every Sunday, Reno Gazette-Journal sports columnist Chris Murray will count down a top-10 list. This week's list counts down the 10 best wide receivers in Wolf Pack football history.

  • Burleson only played three seasons at Nevada, but he ranks fourth in catches (248) and receiving yards (3,287) and sixth in touchdowns (22) in program history. His 2002 season - 138 catches for 1,629 yards and 12 touchdowns - was one of the greatest season in Pack history. Burleson also holds program records in single-game catches (19) and yards (326) and had, by far, the best NFL career of any Wolf Pack receiver: 457 catches for 5,630 yards and 39 touchdowns in 12 seasons.
