Andre Johnson
Career Stats: 193 games played (187 starts), 1,062 receptions, 14,185 yards, 70 TD
During their first two decades as a team, the Houston Texans did not have much success. Unfortunately, this implies that Andre Johnson’s abilities were completely wasted. Johnson was an absolute powerhouse for much of his career, standing 6-foot-3 and weighing 230 pounds. Johnson possessed an uncommon combination of size and speed, and corners frequently struggled to keep up with him when he took off. Johnson, a two-time All-Pro, led the league in receptions and receiving yards twice (2006, 2008). (2008-09). It’s a shame Johnson never got to play alongside a top-tier quarterback.

Fred Biletnikoff
Career Stats: 190 games played (161 starts), 589 receptions, 8,974 yards, 76 TD
The Biletnikoff Award is given to the finest collegiate receiver for a reason, and that reason is because of this Pro Football and College Football Hall of Famer. Biletnikoff was a four-time Pro Bowler who caught 76 touchdown passes during his career. His sure hands resulted in a slew of acrobatic receptions that would leave Odell Beckham Jr. green with envy. Biletnikoff’s postseason performance is likewise etched in Raider lore. Biletnikoff scored eight touchdowns in six games early in his career, including a game against the long-time division foe Kansas City Chiefs in which he gained 180 yards and three scores. In 1976, he finally got that elusive Super Bowl ring while playing for probably the greatest Raider squad of all time.
