Cris Carter
Career Stats: 234 games played (209 starts), 1,101 receptions, 13,899 yards, 130 TD
Carter worked as a human highlight reel for the Minnesota Vikings before becoming a Fox Sports analyst. The eight-time Pro Bowler was a catching machine who could make even the most difficult receptions look easy. He looked to finish his catches with only one hand at times, seemingly out of boredom. He was difficult to defend in the red zone due to his catch radius, as he routinely scored touchdowns against tight coverage. The Vikings drafted Randy Moss in 1998, and the two created one of the league’s most dangerous tandems. During Moss’ first two seasons, Carter caught 25 touchdown passes. CC retired as the all-time leader in both receptions (1,101) and touchdowns (1,101). (130).

Career Stats: 190 games played (188 starts), 1,102 receptions, 14,580 yards, 128 TD
It’s terrifying to think about what kind of figures Harrison may have put up in today’s pass-happy NFL. During Peyton Manning’s remarkable 13-year career, his favorite wideout was the ultimate safety net. Harrison, who was reserved and serious, didn’t have to talk trash in order to get an advantage over his opponents; he just let his performance speak for itself. With a broad route tree, the sly receiver was quick and fluid. He and Manning have the most QB-WR touchdown passes (114), with second place not far behind (92). Harrison’s consistency sets him apart from his peers. Harrison gained at least 1,100 yards and 10 touchdowns in every season from 1999 through 2006. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2016, after helping Indianapolis win their second Super Bowl in 2007.
