Megatron is the all time single season receiving leader. In fact he has the only ever 1900 yard season with 1964 in 2012. He was also the league's leading receiver in 2011 with 1681 yards. The same year he set the single season receiving record he also led the league in catches with 122. In 2008 he tied Larry Fitzgerald for the league lead in receiving touchdowns with 12. Saying he never led the league in anything is pure ignorance.

[@Massc._]

@@halwarner3326 leads the NFL in most yards in a season

[@GetRicked]

The NFL started in 1920. Don Hutson retired in 1945 and at that time he had three times as many touchdowns as anyone else in those first 25 years of football. It's a record that stood for 44 years until Steve Largent broke it in 1989. Hutson only played 10-11 games a year. Mind boggling. I'd call him the greatest football player ever, regardless of position. Too smart. Too fast. Too creative. Too tough. For anyone in his time.

1. Jerry Rice- Could not be covered in any type of coverage you put on him. Something else that he was greater at above all receivers was turning short 5-15 yard routes into 60-70-80+ yards. Their was not one weakness to Rice's game. Not one. What makes Jerry Rice still special, is that his single game former records of most TDs and most yards in a season are still the greatest receiving performances of all time in those respective categories/seasons. Let me explain. First: The most td's in a season: Moss broke the record yes. But Rice set the record while only having 12 games played due to the strike season that year. Experts predicted if that year was an actual full season, and the averages Rice was having that year, Rice could have very well finished that season reaching between 28-30 TDS before playoffs. Moss didn't even tie Rice's record in his record breaking season with the Patriots until after the 12th game. It took more games for him to actually tie Rice before eventually breaking the record. Second: The most yards in a season: Rice did have a full season played when he held this record unlike his TD record. However, what made Rice's record breaking season more greater than Megatron's record breaking season was simply the yards/td ratio. Rice finished with 1,848 yards, 15 touchdowns, and 1 rushing touchdown. (A total of 16 TDs) Also averaging 15.1 yards per catch w/ 122 catches with no fumbles. For Megatron? 1,964 yards, 5 Tds, 0 rushing touchdowns, and 3 fumbles. (All turnovers) With 16.1 yards per catch while catching a total of 122 footballs. Since this generation is all about NFL Fantasy and it's accumulating of points, if these two performed these two seasons at the same time, Jerry Rice would finish 1st in NFL Fantasy. For a good decade+ , the league has done everything they can to make the QB look as good as possible and be protected. Basically over a decade since the defense has been hampered down and crippled compared to what they were able to do and get away with in the 80s and 90s. And through this past decade and a half, their is not one receiver that is even sniffing to reaching career numbers that Rice got. 2. TO: One of the top greatest athletic wide receivers to ever play. Chemistry with QBs was great despite personal problems off the field. T.O.'s best performance was his losing effort in the Super Bowl as an Eagles player. 3. Randy Moss. Perhaps the most gifted athlete in the Wide Receiver position. However, his play to not get hurt, taking plays off, deciding when to go 100% in games, and the fact that Moss was mostly a one-trick pony in seemingly only being a deep threat receiver. (Greatest deep threat receiver). Was not one of the greatest blockers in the game as a receiver by a long shot, QB could never trust him on short/cross slant routes unless they knew he'd have a wide window of space or else he'd be getting ghost feet fearing he was going to get hammered. 4. Larry Fitzgerald: If only he was around with Kurt Warner during Warner's prime years. If only Larry had better overall teams with Arizona Cardinals. Despite that, Larry is one of the greatest consummate wide receiver teammates you could ever have. One of the most gifted and reliable hands a receiver has ever possessed. Throw the ball high, chances are, Larry is the one that is going to jump and reach the highest altitude in order to get the ball in his hands outside of Randy Moss. A true all around great receiver and a phenomenal team player. 5. Calvin Johnson- Megatron is in my opinion the only receiver that has had a shot of dethroning the GOAT, Jerry Rice. Due to his short career, he will always be a what if type of receiver. Definitely had the tools to usurp Rice and break every record. Sadly, he followed the footsteps of the former Lion legend, Barry Sanders. However, unlike Sanders, Calvin's total career stats don't give enough evidence that suggest he'd have reached Rice's records, because his career was just that short in regards to numbers that Rice simply has. Another thing that dodges him from being any higher than 5 is the fact that Calvin was great at accumulating a lot of yards and catches, but for whatever reason, when it came time to actually turn those yards and catches into td's, their was too much absences of that.

[@TMSBMC]

Mike Youngblood don’t sleep on Marvin, he was hella consistent throughout his career. He carried Peyton early in his career as Peyton always panic dumped the ball off to him and he still made the catches. Peyton struggled a lot early on. Having a record back to back 4 100 catch seasons straight. Other than Wes Welker and Brady we haven’t seen that since and Wes was a slot receiver. Marvin was not. Marvin just lost his record of 143 to Michael Thomas this season by one catch too. He also has a super bowl win under his belt which sadly TO never got to win. NFL lists always take SB rings into account A big reason TO had so many QB’s is because he bounced around a lot. He doesn’t admit it, but at the time he was very much so a problem/diva like receiver who people didn’t want to have. Complained when he didnt get the ball.

For context on Don Hutson as one of those guys before your time, when he retired noone was even close in the league receiving wise.

He also lead the league in interceptions in 1940. It took till Steve Largent to get past that touchdown milestone. He's arguably the Jim Brown of receivers. He retired because they wouldn't give him money consummate with basically MVP/top tier QB play. And so he left for good, not because he couldnt play but because they wouldn't pay him to. There was nothing left to prove for him otherwise. And that era of Packers, who he helped win 4 titles for basically went to crap until the 60's when Lombardi arrived.

He is also the all time leader for consecutive 100 yard games. He had 329 receiving yards in a GAME, well more than anybody else here was able to achieve.

Here is my list, feel free to put your input. Jerry Rice (speaks for itself) Randy Moss (speaks for itself) Lance Alworth (I actually agree with this one, I feel he does not get the credit he deserves because he played in the AFL) Terrell Owens (how do you not include him? You are leaving out a guy who is top 3 in receiving TDs and yards, also is first team all-pro on 3 different teams. That is absurd!) Calvin Johnson (this may seem absurd to some, but look at Calvin’s time in the league, to go along with his other accolades, he has the record for most receiving yards in a season, most receiving yards in a game (without OT). His biggest weakness was his loyalty to the Lions. You can’t tell me Crazy legs Hirsch was better than Megatron) Don Hutson (another one I agree with big time, dude had triple the receiving TDS of second place when he retired with 99, that is dominance if I’ve ever seen it) Larry Fitzgerald (Look at this guys career and the qbs he has been stuck with and he manages to be a great receiver every year and now is 2nd all time in yards and receptions, also has more tackles than drops) Steve Largent (very underrated and a guy who I think should speak for himself) Marvin Harrison (I struggled with Marvin the most, but despite the fact he had Peyton Manning, you can’t deny his consistently great play and the receptions record that was seen as unbreakable until Michael Thomas broke it) Paul Warfield (I originally had Isaac Bruce here, but after learning more about both Warfield and Berry, I ended up replacing Bruce with Warfield, but Berry could also go here. I ended up picking Warfield because of his incredible numbers despite the lack of receptions. Honourable mentions: Isaac Bruce, Raymond Berry, Cris Carter and Michael Irvin (honestly, place any one of these guys in place of Marvin Harrison and it is still a good list to me. Let me know what you think. Edit: I replaced Isaac Bruce with Paul Warfield.

[@king_supreme1102]

Noah Rocca sub in Raymond Berry for Isaac Bruce and you got it. Also I really hate when people bring up the QB’s a wide receiver had or vice versa. Their accomplishments speak for themselves. This isn’t a what if game, where we can switch around the players they had with them. I’m not trying to pick on you but I see this so often and especially against Marvin Harrison. Marvin is underrated because he was the quiet guy in the era of diva WR’s. And I hate when people disrespect him. Not saying you were, but I see it too often. You can’t judge people by what they had with then you can only judge them for what they did.

[@howardcosell2022]

1950's Rams are the father's of the modern day passing offense. They still hold the record for the most points per game in a season. That's why Hirsch is on the list. If Raymond Berry is on than Don Maynard deserves to be on it too. Same goes for Charley Taylor, Taylor was not as dynamic as Warfield, but he was as physical and as productive of any WR during his time. Taylor and Warfield were the TO and Moss of their era

[@xaviervega468]

Raymond Berry has to be on here. If you were voted in first ballot as a WR, you should be on the list.

[@Gungho73]

I wish you would speak for Largent, because he never would. Pretty selfless guy, one who I think the younger fans take for granted. Few players can set up a player a route or two in advance. That guy could set you up mid route. Film was a lie and so were his eyes as they gave away nothing. I still don't understand what Houston didn't see to let him go to Seattle. Maybe I don't ever want to understand as a fan of football, Steve was a football player and that's what mattered. Warfield was what you'd call the missing piece, the player that takes you over the top from being a potentially good team to a great team. When teams evaluate what an acquisition can do for a team, a franchise, Warfield is arguably a standard you should set. And that sounds weird when you consider his numbers don't seem like that next to todays game. But you have to remember the era he was in, and how Shula ran that Miami team. They ran the ball masterfully with a 3 deep backfield, so when they needed the pass they needed a winning one. Warfield gave them that dimension.

Unbelievable that Calvin Johnson isn't on this list, there is no reason he shouldn't be.

The best QB he ever played with was Matthew Stafford, got all his godly stats without ever having an elite QB. Got 1000 yards receiving in all but two of his seasons, of which one of those was super close at 984. There is absolutely zero reason he shouldn't be above guys like Largent and Lance Alworth...

You are telling me that you are going to take Largent over Calvin Johnson? Heck no. Jerry Rice and Randy Moss would be the only legitimate people you could make a legitimate argument for taking over Calvin. Largents overall career statistics mean nothing in terms of making an argument for him over Calvin, he had much greater longevity playing for much longer. He never came close to being anywhere near as dominant as Calvin Johnson on a football field. Emmitt Smith has the most rushing yards ever, because he played for an incredibly long time. Would you be picking him over Jim Brown, Barry Sanders or Walter Payton? Calvin Johnson was better than Steve Largent in EVERYTHING except for durability. Johnson was bigger, stronger, faster, way more disruptive to defenses, a much bigger game breaker, and could make plays Largent could never dream of. Largent is an all time great, but not even close to being in Calvin's league as a football player.

@@DireHammer What you are saying doesn't in any way give credence to picking Largent over Calvin. Lets talk about full careers then. Calvin Johnson only has 1500 yards less receiving than Largent, while playing 5 less seasons, his yearly production over his full career is FAR superior. Calvin's best year was 1964 receiving yards, Largents was 1287, not even close. Calvin Johnson has FOUR SEASONS where he got more receiving yards than Largents best season he ever had, and FIVE out of NINE seasons he had 1200+. Calvin Johnson has the NFL records for single season receiving yards, most 100 yard games in a season with 11 and is the record holder for the fastest to ever get 11,000 yards receiving. This is despite the fact Calvin played in 65 fewer games than Largent, and Calvin was also on some of the most god awful teams in NFL history including the 0 and 16 season. So yes lets talk full careers, because Calvin's full career production dwarfs Steve Largent's. Calvin was a FAR SUPERIOR player to Largent and it isn't even close.
