TO was 2nd all-time in receiving yards behind only the GOAT Jerry Rice. He was probably the best Run after Catch receiver I've ever seen. Throw him a WR screen or a Reverse and he's gonna take it all the way to the projects. TO also had the best TD celebrations of all-time, including the Pom-Poms and the Sharpie. Despite the claims that he was a bad teammate, he was unstoppable and consistently put his teams in contention. This guy was box-office.
