Isaac Bruce

Career Stats: 223 games played (201 starts), 1,024 receptions, 15,208 yards, 91 TD

Bruce, the least well-known member of the Greatest Show on Turf, was a reliable performer who contributed to one of the league’s best offenses. Bruce was possibly the greatest No. 2 receiver of all time, which testifies to his ability. It takes a certain type of player to consistently perform at a high level when they are not the team’s first choice. Bruce received a lot of attention when he first joined the Rams. The Memphis product was targeted 199 times in his second season, the fifth-highest total in NFL history since targets were first tracked in 1992. Torry Holt, on the other hand, was selected with a first-round pick by the Rams in 1999. Bruce was promoted to a supporting role and thrived on short-to-intermediate routes. His dedication and longevity catapulted him to fourth all-time in career receiving yards.

Julio Jones

Career Stats: 145 games played (144 starts), 879 receptions, 13,330 yards, 61 TD

Julio Jones might end up in the top 15 after all is said and done. Jones, who possesses exceptional athleticism, has been an NFL sensation since his debut in 2011. In 2015, the two-time All-Pro led the league in receptions (136) and yards (1,871). From 2014 to 2019, Jones had at least 83 receptions and 1,394 yards. It’s surprising that Jones hasn’t scored more touchdowns in his career, given his talent. His current season high is ten points, which he set in his sophomore campaign. Jones has dealt with injuries in the past, but there is optimism that he will regain his form alongside Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.
