Career Stats: 122 games played (121 starts), 606 receptions, 9,301 yards, 75 TD
Mike Evans, who is currently in his ninth season, could announce his retirement tomorrow and be overjoyed with his work. The Texas A&M product has always been a better wideout than average. Evans, a 6-foot-5 target, has eight seasons in which he has ended with more than 1,000 receiving yards; his most recent career high is 1,524 yards in 2018. One of the best red zone threats in the game is the four-time Pro Bowler. Along with making the most of his gigantic stature, Evans is excellent at catching the ball at its highest point. Evans has scored 75 touchdowns as a result, including 27 in the two seasons that Tom Brady has led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Evans has plenty of time to climb the rankings as he’ll be 29 when the season starts in 2022.

Fourth-round pick Charlie Joiner worked his way up to the Hall of Fame. The Houston Oilers selected Joiner, a 5-foot-11 wideout from Grambling State, in the fourth round of the 1969 NFL Draft. Before moving to receiver late in his rookie season, Joiner played defensive back for the Oilers at the start of his career. After spending a short time with the Bengals and Oilers, Joiner signed with the San Diego Chargers in 1976. In that year, Joiner caught 50 passes for 1,056 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. With 71 receptions, 1,132 yards, and four touchdowns in 1980, Joiner was an All-Pro. After the 1986 NFL season, Joiner, the league’s all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, announced his retirement at the age of 39.
