Terrell Owens
Career Stats: 219 games played (201 starts), 1,078 receptions, 15,934 yards, 153 TD
The three-year wait for Owens’ induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was absurd. The brash receiver has had numerous run-ins with the press, but his on-field success speaks for itself. Owens was the exception to both of these circumstances. The majority of receivers fall after a certain number of years, but a chosen handful are able to see this decline early and stop before it occurs. Owens, 46, appears as though he may be currently on an NFL roster. In 2010, he was the Bengals’ top receiver in terms of yards and scores (his 15th season). He was a forerunner of Julio Jones with his bodybuilder figure and powerful first step.

Don Hutson
Career Stats: 116 games played (60 starts), 488 receptions, 7,991 yards, 99 TD
You unquestionably have a stadium named after you for a reason. In his day, Hutson was a downfield threat with a make-you-miss wiggle and real top-end speed. He resided at the end zone during the years of 1930 and 1940. Hutson far outperformed all-time greats like Jerry Rice (7.8), Randy Moss (6.2), and Terrell Owens by averaging a touchdown every 4.9 receptions (4.9). (7.04). When Hutson retired, he had a significant lead over all other players in receiving touchdowns; the players who have since passed him did not start their careers until 1976. He held a number of other records at the time of his retirement. His most illustrious effort occurred against the Detroit Lions in his final season, when he scored four touchdowns in a single quarter.
