Lance Alworth
Career Stats: 136 games played (127 starts), 542 receptions, 10,266 yards, 85 TD
Alworth is credited with inventing the vertical attack. During the 1960s, the explosive Charger receiver showed the NFL how effective a spread system can be with the right weapons. Alworth was an outside dynamo who averaged nearly 19 yards per catch during his career. Every time he touched the ball, he might have scored six points. Alworth holds the career record with 12 70-yard touchdown receptions. He topped the AFL in all three main receiving categories three times and is widely recognized as one of the greatest Chargers players of all time.

Larry Fitzgerald
Career Stats: 263 games played (261 starts), 1,432 receptions, 17,492 yards, 121 TD
Larry Fitzgerald never misses a throw. If it hits his hands, it’s coming down for a catch. Since 2004, Fitz has appeared in 250 games for the Cardinals. In the 250 fights, the legend has been targeted 2,263 times. Fitzgerald has only had 29 drops in his career, and he has more tackles (39) than drops. Allow that to soak in for a moment. Fitzgerald recreated himself admirably as he grew older. The former third-round choice came into the NFL as an outside receiver who could blow the top off defenses. When he turned 30, he moved closer to the ball and developed into a great short route runner. Fitz set the record for most receptions (30), receiving yards (546), and receiving touchdowns (7) by a single player in a single postseason in the 2008 playoffs.
