Terrell Owens
Career Stats: 219 games played (201 starts), 1,078 receptions, 15,934 yards, 153 TD
It was a farce that Owens had to wait three years to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The brazen receiver has several run-ins with the media, but his performance on the field speaks for itself. Most receivers falter after a set number of years, while a select few are able to notice this decline early and quit before it occurs – Owens was the exception to both of these scenarios. Owens, 46, looks like he could be on an NFL squad right now. He led the Bengals in receiving yards and touchdowns in 2010 (his 15th season). With his bodybuilder physique and explosive first stride, he was an early version of Julio Jones.

Don Hutson
Career Stats: 116 games played (60 starts), 488 receptions, 7,991 yards, 99 TD
There’s undoubtedly a good reason why you have a stadium named after you. Hutson was a downfield menace with a make-you-miss wiggle and legitimate top-end speed in his day. During the 1930s and 1940s, he lived at the end zone. Hutson averaged a touchdown every 4.9 receptions, considerably outpacing all-time greats like Jerry Rice (7.8), Randy Moss (6.2), and Terrell Owens (4.9). (7.04). Hutson was the all-time receiving touchdowns leader by a large margin when he retired – every player who has subsequently passed him did not begin their career until 1976. At the time of his retirement, he held a number of other records. His most memorable performance came during his final season, when he scored four touchdowns in a single quarter against the Detroit Lions.
