As the NFL leans toward efficient and explosive passing, we have seen more high-level receiving production in recent years. The modern NFL has a focus on securing top-notch pass-catchers too; just in the last few seasons, we have seen players like Tyreek Hill, A.J. Brown, and D.J. Moore traded for premium draft capital, and the league has increased in average number of wide receivers and tight ends drafted in the first round in the past half-decade compared to the previous 15 years.
From a fan standpoint, there has also always been an affinity towards the pass catchers in the league. Some of the league's most exciting and entertaining players have been wide receivers or tight ends. Below is a list of some of the most memorable receivers in league history. Each team's leading receiver is provided and ranked from fewest to most yards receiving for the franchise.
In all, 24 teams have had their leading receiver eclipse the 10,000-yard mark, eight had their top receiver meet or surpass 1,000 receptions, and six had their leading receiver snag at least 100 touchdowns in their careers with their team. Interestingly, 12 all-time franchise leaders have played their entire careers in the 2000s, with two currently active receivers adding to their already impressive career totals.

32. Chicago Bears: Johnny Morris – 356 rec, 5,059 yards, 31 touchdowns (1958-1967; 121 games)
Morris played in the NFL, mainly before the Super Bowl era. The Bears' flanker was notably one of only two players to have ever had a season with at least 90 receptions for 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns before the Super Bowl's creation, joining Denver Broncos' Lionel Taylor. Fun fact: Morris is credited for popularizing the use of the telestrator in a sports broadcast after his retirement.

31. Baltimore Ravens: Derrick Mason – 471 rec, 5,777 yards, 29 touchdowns (2005-2010; 96 games)
Mason only played six seasons with the Ravens, but those six years brought four 1,000-yard receiving seasons. The former Titan made two Pro Bowls and received an All-Pro selection while playing for Tennessee before the Baltimore period. While he never had the accolades he had as a Titan, Mason was a reliable hand for Joe Flacco as he got acclimated to the NFL.
30. Tennessee Titans: Ernest Givins – 542 rec, 7,935 yards, 46 touchdowns (1986-1994; 138 games)
Playing for the late-80s and early-90s Houston Oilers, Givins was never the leading receiver for his team, but he was a consistent and trustworthy receiver for a team that made the playoffs in seven of his nine seasons. Givins made the Pro Bowl twice as a pass catcher from Warren Moon, receiving the honors in 1990 and 1992.
29. Cleveland Browns: Ozzie Newsome – 662 rec, 7,980 yards, 47 touchdowns (1978-1990; 198 games)
The first tight end on the list, Newsome is a Cleveland legend. At his retirement, Newsome was the all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards for tight ends. The prolific Browns player played in three AFC Championship games, made three Pro Bowls, was selected to six All-Pro teams, and got inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Cleveland Browns' Ring of Honor.
28. Miami Dolphins: Mark Duper – 511 rec, 8,869 yards, 59 touchdowns (1982-1992; 146 games)
"Super" Duper had the fortune of playing alongside one of the most prolific passers, Dan Marino, and rode his arm to three Pro Bowl selections within his first five seasons in the NFL. Playing alongside Mark Clayton in Miami helped make the Dolphins passing game one of the more dominant in the league, with Miami leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns during the stretch of Duper's career.

27. Philadelphia Eagles: Harold Carmichael – 589 rec, 8,978 yards, 79 touchdowns (1971-1983; 180 games)
Carmichael was one of the most successful late-round draft picks of all time. Drafted in the 7th round by the Eagles, Carmichael was eased into the NFL, combining for less than 600 yards receiving in his first two seasons. Once he broke into the starting lineup, the Philadelphia wide receiver showed meaningful productivity, ending his career in the top 10 all-time in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. A member of the All-1970s NFL Team, Carmichael was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020.
Not enough is said about former Eagles receiver Harold Carmichael. He was 6'8" and caught a pass in 127 consecutive games and was a constant thorn in the side of this Cowboys fan back then @lookitin @Eagles pic.twitter.com/vvMtBB6f54

26. New York Giants: Amani Toomer – 668 rec, 9,497 yards, 54 touchdowns (1996-2008; 190 games)
Like Carmichael above, Toomer was slowly incorporated into his team's offense. Toomer averaged just 212 yards receiving per season in his first three years with the Giants. 1999 proved to be a breakout season with Toomer, seeing him explode for 1,183 yards and starting a streak of five seasons with at least 60 receptions, 1,000 yards, and five touchdowns.
Though he was at the twilight of his career then, he was also instrumental in one of the biggest upsets in NFL history, getting six receptions for 84 yards in the Super Bowl win against the previously unbeaten New England Patriots. Toomer is now a New York Giants' Ring of Honor member.
25. New Orleans Saints: Marques Colston – 711 rec, 9,759 yards, 72 touchdowns (2006-2015; 146 games)
Though Sean Payton and Drew Brees usually get the lion's share of the credit for turning the Saints franchise around, Colston was instrumental in turning the Saints offense into the juggernaut it was. As a 7th-round draft pick, Colston lit the league on fire, leading all rookie wide receivers with 70 receptions, 1,038 yards, and eight touchdowns in 2006. Six of Colston's first seven seasons saw the receiver pass the thousand-yard receiving mark, which helped him secure a place in the Saints' Hall of Fame.
24. Green Bay Packers: Donald Driver – 743 rec, 10,137 yards, 61 touchdowns (1999-2012; 205 games)
Yet another 7th-round draft pick makes his appearance on this list. Driver was a consistent and productive member of the Packers for most of a decade once he cracked the starting lineup in 2002. The Green Bay wide receiver had an eight-season period beginning that season that included at least 70 receptions and 1,000 yards receiving in seven of those years, getting three Pro Bowl nods. Driver was a member of the Packers' Super Bowl season in 2010 and was later inducted into Green Bay's Hall of Fame.
23. New England Patriots: Stanley Morgan – 534 rec, 10,352 yards, 67 touchdowns (1977-1989; 180 games)
Morgan was one of the most prolific explosive receivers during his era. Despite having less than 600 receptions in his career, he cracked the 10,000-yard receiving mark. To date, 55 players have gained at least 10,000 receiving yards, and no one had more yards per reception than Morgan. His big-play ability gave him 13 seasons of at least 15 yards per reception, four Pro Bowl selections, and the honor of being in the New England Patriots' Hall of Fame.
22. Cincinnati Bengals: Chad Johnson – 751 rec, 10,783 yards, 66 touchdowns (2001-2010; 151 games)
Happy birthday, Chad Johnson!
His career stats:
• 11 seasons (166 games)
• 766 catches
• 11,059 receiving yards
• 175 rushing yards
• 67 TDs
• 6x pro bowler, 4x all-pro
• Holds 8 #Bengals franchise records pic.twitter.com/MhArvNiMGh— NFL Stats (@NFL_Stats) January 9, 2024
Johnson will go down as one of the most flamboyant wide receivers in NFL history, but do not let the humorous touchdown celebrations fool you. Johnson was one of the most productive receivers of his era. The Bengal receiver put together five years from 2003-2007 that included at least 85 receptions for 1,200 yards each season, getting chosen for the Pro Bowl each year and being selected for All-Pro honors twice.
Johnson may not make the Hall of Fame as he predicted after a score in 2007, but he did end up being chosen as a member of the Bengals' Ring of Honor in 2023.
21. Kansas City Chiefs: Travis Kelce – 907 rec, 11,328 yards, 74 touchdowns (2013-present; 159+ games)
We know all too well just how dominant Kelce has been on the field. Kelce may be the greatest tight end in NFL history, being the only tight end to have seven seasons with 1,000 yards receiving. He blows his contemporaries away: since 2016, Kelce has as many seasons with at least 85 receptions and 1,000 yards as every other tight end combined. As a nine-time Pro Bowler, seven-time All-Pro, and three-time Super Bowl champion, Kelce remains among the best pass-catchers in the league.
20. Denver Broncos: Rod Smith – 849 rec, 11,389 yards, 68 touchdowns (1995-2006; 183 games)
Most undrafted free agents are hopeful of making a roster in the league, perhaps paying their dues and working their way up the depth chart to get some playing time eventually. That was the story for Smith, who signed with the Broncos and saw only two starts and 22 receptions in his first two seasons. Smith's perseverance paid off for the Denver wide receiver, who only missed three games between 1997 and 2006.
The eventual Denver Broncos Ring of Fame member ended his career with a remarkable eight 1,000-yard receiving seasons, three Pro Bowl selections and an incredible performance in Super Bowl XXXIII to help the Broncos win their second consecutive championship.
19. Detroit Lions: Calvin Johnson – 731 rec, 11,619 yards, 83 touchdowns (2007-2015; 135 games)
Johnson only played nine seasons in the NFL but left an incredible legacy behind him. Taking the man known as Megatron second overall, Detroit banked on the generational talent he had. Johnson had five seasons of at least 1,200 receiving yards for the Lions, peaking with an incredible three-season period combining for 5,137 yards, 33 touchdowns, and three All-Pro selections between 2011 and 2013. Johnson retired with meat still on the bones, riding six straight Pro Bowl seasons into the sunset as an eventual Hall of Famer.
18. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Mike Evans – 762 rec, 11,680 yards, 94 touchdowns (2014-present; 154+ games)
Evans is the model of consistency since being drafted seventh overall by Tampa Bay in 2014. Year in and year out, he gets targeted over 100 times, netting over 65 receptions and accumulating over 1,000 yards receiving. Evans has the record for most 1,000-yard seasons to begin a career, and he hasn't stopped yet, hitting that mark for the tenth year and breaking his record in 2023. With a Super Bowl ring and five trips to the Pro Bowl already under his belt, time will tell just how long the reliable Evans can continue his path.
17. New York Jets: Don Maynard – 627 rec, 11,732 yards, 88 touchdowns (1960-1972; 172 games)
As the 109th pick of the 1957 NFL draft by the New York Giants, Maynard had an unremarkable rookie campaign, totaling five receptions for 84 yards. The Giants were not inspired by the production of their 9th-round draft pick and released him, with Maynard missing the following season entirely. In 1960, Maynard had the opportunity to be the first player ever signed to the then-New York Titans, and he rewarded the club with over 1,200 yards on 72 receptions for the team's first season.

— Kevin Gallagher (@KevG163) November 24, 2023
Spending the first 13 years of the Jets franchise as one of the league's most productive receivers, Maynard retired in 1973 as the all-time leader in receptions and receiving yards, being a critical part of the first AFL team to win the Super Bowl, getting inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1987, and having his number 13 retired by the Jets.
16. Los Angeles Chargers: Antonio Gates – 995 rec, 11,841 yards, 116 touchdowns (2003-2018; 236 games)
i am jus finding out antonio gates played basketball in college! pic.twitter.com/0Tikw0otZM
— RAD. (@The___RAD) March 17, 2022
Gates is one of the most interesting players on this list, given that his productivity came after never playing college football and going undrafted. After having an opportunity to work out with the then-San Diego Chargers, Gates used his 6-foot-4, 255-pound frame as a tight end to bully defenders. In his second season in the NFL, Gates earned All-Pro honors as he led all tight ends in touchdowns with 13, nearly doubling the second-place player Tony Gonzalez.
Gates was reliably productive for an extended period for the Chargers, having at least 500 yards each season between 2004 and 2016 en route to eight Pro Bowls, six All-Pros, and being chosen as a Chargers' Hall of Fame member.
15. Washington Commanders: Art Monk – 888 rec, 12,026 yards, 65 touchdowns (1980-1993; 205 games)
As a first-round draft pick by Washington in 1980, Monk enjoyed modest success in his first four seasons with the team while averaging over 700 yards per season. However, Monk made his mark on the league in 1984 when he set the single-season reception record with 106 catches and 1,372 yards, earning his first of two All-Pro honors and three Pro Bowl selections. Monk helped Washington win three Super Bowls during his tremendous career, ending up in both the Commanders' Ring of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
It's worth watching the four-minute standing ovation the incredible player received upon induction.
14. Pittsburgh Steelers: Hines Ward – 1,000 rec, 12,083 yards, 85 touchdowns (1998-2011; 217 games)
If a receiver were ever built to be a Steeler, he would be Ward. The tough-as-nails receiver was a reliable threat to extend drives and get scores, averaging over four receptions that ended in a first down or touchdown each game between 2001 and 2009. As a valuable contributor to a Steelers team that won two Super Bowls during his career, Ward won Super Bowl MVP in 2005 to go alongside his four Pro Bowls and three All-Pro selections.
13. Carolina Panthers: Steve Smith, Sr. – 836 rec, 12,197 yards, 67 touchdowns (2001-2013; 182 games)
Despite Smith standing at 5-foot-9, he had a way of being one of the most imposing players in any game he played. Smith's explosiveness in the return game granted him a rare rookie All-Pro nod, which may have contributed to his increase in offensive opportunity in his second season.
Smith broke his leg in Week 1 of the 2004 season, causing him to miss the whole year. What could have been a career-altering setback, the Panther instead bounced back and became the first player in 13 years to win the receiving Triple Crown, leading the league in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. Ending his career with an impressive five Pro Bowl trips and three All-Pro nods, Smith was inducted into the Carolina Panthers' Hall of Honor in 2019.
12. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jimmy Smith – 862 rec, 12,287 yards, 67 touchdowns (1995-2005; 171 games)
July 11: On this day in 1994, the Cowboys waived WR Jimmy Smith when he refused a paycut. A grievance over a injury and pay led the Cowboys to let Smith go. He went on to make the Pro Bowl 5X and catch 67 TDS and gain over 12K receiving yards with Jacksonville. @jimmyxa pic.twitter.com/5Tqq9CfrEv
— 90’s Dallas Cowboys (@90s_cowboys) July 12, 2020
Smith's story could have had a different ending in another circumstance as he showed unusual resilience in difficult times. Drafted by the Cowboys in the second round of the 1992 draft, Smith played in just seven games as a rookie, primarily on special teams, and finished the year without a reception. The following preseason, he fell injured with appendicitis and missed the 1993 season entirely, ultimately having a falling out with Dallas, who wanted him to take a pay cut.
Being cut by the Cowboys and subsequently signed and released by the Eagles within the next month and a half, Smith missed his second consecutive season. Smith then tried out with the newly created Jaguars franchise and saw his first real offensive opportunity in 1995. After a miserable beginning to his career, Smith had nine 1,000-yard seasons with the new Jacksonville team, leading to two All-Pro selections, five Pro Bowl trips, and being inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars in 2016.
11. Minnesota Vikings: Cris Carter – 1,004 rec, 12,383 yards, 110 touchdowns (1990-2001; 188 games)
Carter began his career as an Eagle, being drafted by the franchise in the 4th round of the 1987 Supplemental Draft. Once he cracked the starting roster with the Eagles, he was modestly productive within his first three seasons. However, off-field concerns surrounding alcohol and drug misuse led Philadelphia to cut the talented but troubled receiver, whom the Vikings ultimately claimed off of waivers. Carter rewarded the Vikings for their decision by missing only four games between 1991 and 2001.
Throughout Vikings tenure, Carter led the league in touchdowns three times, enjoying three All-Pro selections, eight Pro Bowl nods, an induction into both the Vikings' Ring of Honor and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and having his number 80 retired by the franchise.
10. Atlanta Falcons: Julio Jones – 848 rec, 12,896 yards, 60 touchdowns (2011-2020; 135 games)
Jones ended up playing fewer than 140 games for Atlanta in his career but left a mark on the franchise that will be felt for much longer than he was around. Being drafted 6th overall in 2011, Jones hit the ground running with 959 yards receiving and eight touchdowns as a rookie despite missing three games. Productivity continued for the Falcon receiver, having seven seasons of averaging 90 yards receiving per game with Atlanta. Jones led the league in receiving twice in his career and in receiving yards per game three times.
Having been chosen for five All-Pro teams, seven Pro Bowls, and the NFL's 2010s All-Decade team, it is only a matter of time after he opts for retirement that Jones will be joining the Falcons' Ring of Honor and likely the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
9. Dallas Cowboys: Jason Witten – 1,215 rec, 12,977 yards, 72 touchdowns (2003-2017, 2019; 255 games)
Witten, the highest-ranking tight end on this list, was a mainstay of the Cowboys from the early 2000s through the 2010s. Witten was a tough tight end who made difficult grabs and always seemed to be open for critical moments for Dallas. Witten had a period of 14 seasons between 2004 and 2017 where over 43% of his targets ended in the Cowboys getting a first down or touchdown, showing his remarkable efficiency.
Witten was selected for the All-Pro team on four instances and was chosen for a remarkable 11 Pro Bowls, second all-time for tight ends. We will likely see the clutch tight end make the Hall of Fame someday.
8. Seattle Seahawks: Steve Largent – 819 rec, 13,089 yards, 100 touchdowns (1976-1989; 200 games)
Steve largent most consecutive games with a catch.
— 👑David vs goliath 👑 (@Rumsey1976) March 7, 2024
Largent was an incredibly productive mid-round draft pick, selected as the 117th pick in the 1976 Draft. Largent's rookie season saw the receiver lead Seattle in receptions, yards, and touchdowns. The productivity kept improving as the route-running savant was open early and often, seeing eight 1,000-yard seasons between 1978 and 1986. Largent was the first Seahawk ever selected for the Pro Bowl, receiving seven selections in his career.
The consistently productive receiver was also a member of the NFL's 1980s All-Decade team and the NFL's 100th Anniversary All-Time Team. Largent deservedly saw himself inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Seahawks Ring of Honor, with his number 80 being retired in Seattle's rafters.
7. Buffalo Bills: Andre Reed – 941 rec, 13,095 yards, 86 touchdowns (1985-1999; 221 games)
Reed played significantly longer with the Bills than one might expect a typical fourth-round draft pick would, but Reed's longevity was one of the biggest reasons he is on this list. The Buffalo wide receiver played at least 15 games in 13 of his 15 seasons with the franchise, leading to two All-Pro selections and seven consecutive Pro Bowl nods between 1988 and 1994.
Reed was instrumental to the Bills' success as they made four consecutive Super Bowl appearances during his career. Despite never winning in those appearances, Reed was productive on the grandest stage, averaging 6.75 receptions for 80.75 yards in those four Super Bowls. Reed was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2014 and the Buffalo Bills' Wall of Fame in 2006.
6. Houston Texans: Andre Johnson – 1,012 rec, 13,597 yards, 64 touchdowns (2003-2014; 169 games)
2003 saw the Texans use their second-ever first-round draft pick on the 6-foot-2, 230-pound stud from Miami, Andre Johnson. As a rookie, Johnson ended the 2003 season with 976 yards receiving for the struggling Texans, showing promise that the team made the correct selection. That was proven true as Johnson averaged an astounding 84.7 yards per game in the 10 seasons between 2004 and 2013, leading the league in yards per game in three seasons during that stretch.
No Texan has ever had more Pro Bowl appearances than Johnson's seven in his career, pairing that number with four All-Pro selections. Johnson was the first player drafted by the Texans to be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
5. Los Angeles Rams: Isaac Bruce – 942 rec, 14,109 yards, 84 touchdowns (1994-2007; 197 games)
While putting up a pedestrian rookie campaign, Bruce may have had a wide receiver's greatest sophomore season ever. The 1995 season saw Bruce break the record for receiving yards for a second-year player, catching 119 balls for 1,781 yards and 13 touchdowns in 1995. Bruce was later a special player for the Rams teams that became known as the Greatest Show on Turf, having at least 60 receptions each season between 1999 and 2004.
Helping the Rams win the Super Bowl in 1999, Bruce put up a stat line of six receptions for 162 yards and a touchdown against the Titans. Bruce was selected for two All-Pro teams and four Pro Bowl rosters, eventually having his number 80 retired by the Rams and being inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2020.
Happy 51st, Isaac Bruce!

4. Indianapolis Colts: Marvin Harrison – 1,102 rec, 14,580 yards, 128 touchdowns (1996-2008; 190 games)
Harrison was selected in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft and put up a couple of respectable 800-yard seasons before the Colts drafted Peyton Manning in 1998. The quarterback change saw a good receiver turn into an all-time great one. Harrison had one of the most incredible sustained peaks in NFL history, going an NFL-record eight consecutive seasons with at least 1,000 yards receiving and ten touchdowns from 1999 to 2006, a stretch that secured a Pro Bowl and an All-Pro nod in each of those years.
The Colts awarded the elite Harrison with an induction into their Ring of Honor, while the NFL named Harrison on the 2000s All-Decade and the 100th Anniversary All-Time teams before finding his way into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016.
3. Las Vegas Raiders: Tim Brown – 1,070 rec, 14,734 yards, 99 touchdowns (1988-2003; 240 games)
Brown began his career as one of the most productive return men in the league, leading the NFL in kick return yards as a rookie. The Raider wide receiver had a significant leg injury in his second season, playing only one game for the team in 1989. The injury set Brown back significantly, taking a few more years before cracking the starting lineup.
Once he did, though, Brown didn't give it up. He set the NFL record for a wide receiver for most consecutive starts with 176 straight between 1992 and 2003. That span also saw the explosive Brown be chosen for seven of his nine total Pro Bowls and included nine straight 1,000-yard seasons. Brown returned with the second-most receiving yards of all time and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2015.
2. Arizona Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald – 1,432 rec, 17,492 yards, 121 touchdowns (2004-2020; 263 games)
Fitzgerald was an Arizona Cardinals mainstay for 17 seasons, being fifth all-time in most games played for a player who has only been on one team in their career. Fitzgerald's counting statistics are remarkable and are even more impressive when you realize just how many low-end quarterbacks threw to him: 16 quarterbacks have thrown touchdowns to Fitzgerald in his 17 years with the team.
Perhaps the most legendary part of Fitzgerald's resumé was his postseason run in 2008, where he had 30 receptions for 546 yards and seven touchdowns in the Arizona Cardinals' Super Bowl run, a stretch of four games that was genuinely unbelievable to watch. Fitzgerald retired second all-time in receptions and yards, posting 11 Pro Bowl trips and three All-Pro selections, and will undoubtedly see his bust in the Hall of Fame sooner rather than later.
1. San Francisco 49ers: Jerry Rice – 1,281 rec, 19,247 yards, 176 touchdowns (1985-2000; 238 games)
The greatest wide receiver of all time, Rice spent the first 16 of his 20-year NFL career with the 49ers. Rice's first season was solid for a rookie -- 927 yards receiving on 49 receptions were second and third, respectively, among rookie wide receivers in 1985 -- but he exploded in his second season as he led the league in receiving yards and touchdowns in 1986 and never looked back. Rice was the league leader in receiving yards in six instances as a 49er, with four of those seasons also being the leader in receiving touchdowns.
Jerry Rice had over 2,500 receiving yards after age 40. The combined receiving yards of all other players in NFL history after age 40 is 4 yards.pic.twitter.com/a04r1pAnju
— AGS ➐ (@andysayegh) March 2, 2024
Rice's records would fill a book with accolades, including 11 All-Pro seasons and 13 Pro Bowl selections. Rice made the NFL's All-Decade teams in the 1980s and 1990s and was a critical member of three Super Bowl teams with San Francisco. A member of the San Francisco Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, we will likely never see another player hit his longevity and productivity.
