Earlier this month, the 33rd Team ranked its top 10 receivers in NFL history. With a quiet and lazy Sunday to round out the month, I’ll try my hand at a similar exercise. As I did with my top quarterbacks in history, I’ll keep this to a top five instead of a top 10. This focuses on the entire league but as you’ll see, there’s a Steeler’ slant to it.
Top Five Receivers In NFL History
1. Jerry Rice/San Francisco 49ers
Fun as it is to be contrarian, there’s no alternative answer than Rice here, though I think it’s a closer conversation than some think.
