From two-time NFL Pro Bowler Keenan McCardell in the 1980s to Rebels junior wide receiver Devonte Boyd, UNLV has produced a plethora of prolific pass catchers.

Boyd, who has the most receiving yards through his sophomore season of any player in school history with 1,884, might end up being the best of them all. Likewise, with the preseason first team All-Mountain West pick leading the way, the Rebels might end up having the top receiving corps in the conference and beyond this season.
