Receivers come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. But every elite pass catcher has one thing in common: Great Hands. It takes strong hands, toughness, great hand-eye coordination, and attention to detail to be consistently great at catching the ball. The best receivers in the world make the routine catch just as well as the spectacular ones. But, just who has the best hands in NFL history?

Larry Fitzgerald is my favorite wide receiver of all time.

[@carterhowell1432]

What about Calvin Johnson “Megatron”

[@rustedbiscuits874]

Calvin Johnson I think is the most talented WR of all time based upon skill and stature, he wasn’t known for his hands as much and he’s short career in guessing is why. If I’m throwing a ball up to anyone though….it would be Johnson

[@Megatron_James_Brady8121]

@@rustedbiscuits874 Calvin had three broken fingers and was still catching fastballs from Stafford.... his fingers still look weird

[@dracojoule]

You got it right here!! Larry Fitzgerald has phenomenal hands, definitely makes the most impressive catches when you see highlights

[@danielroulette4284]

Another thing is the difference in quarterbacks. Larry has had I think only one pro-bowler quarterback pre-Murray(correct me if I’m wrong). This isn’t to take away from any of these other legends, but when you’re a gifted athlete at WR, a good QB will do so much, and a great QB/WR duo is almost unstoppable. But when Fitzgerald hasn’t ever really gotten quite the chance to build that chemistry and he still puts up the numbers that he does, it goes to show just how great of a wide receiver he is.

[@armandolandomarinelli5087]

He had Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer. Actually, DeAndre Hopkins had worse QBs

I have no doubt in my mind that if the Lions hadn’t ruined Calvin Johnson, making him retire early, he would’ve been top 3 WR all time hands down. Or in his case, up. Chances are, he would’ve been an incredibly strong argument for this category. The second he touched the ball, you weren’t taking the ball out of his hands, or hitting him hard enough to make him drop it. He made routine impossible catches, and has the record for most Receiving yards in a single season all time. Calvin Johnson was an absolute beast and force to be reckoned with. It really is a shame the Lions were so horrible to him. I think that he had best hands all time, just wasn’t given enough time to prove it.

They forgot about Steve Largent a receiver who played his whole career with the Seahawks and retired with all the records, Reception record with 819, 100 touchdowns and most receiving yards 13,089 and 177 games with a reception. He proved to everyone that just because he's small and not that fast he can become one of the best receivers of all time that Jerry Rice Idolized.

[@80seahawks]

My man!!! You are not wrong! I love largent and always think he is overlooked when it comes to receiver categories. Not to mention he had garbage QBs throwing to him unlike rice who had Montana, and then he leaves and oh no, I get Steve young. Two HOF QBs?! You better get those stats. Good for you for remembering the trail blazer.

Larry has more tackles than dropped passes all I gotta say

[@RyanAlexanderBloom]

Larry Fitzgerald. No contest. There are videos of him catching ball hanging upside down. Finding clips of him dropping an even remotely catchable pass is hard. He has dropped some… but a lot of very celebrated receivers have like 10-15 bad drops per season. In 17 years Larry only dropped 29 balls. 1.7 passes per season. And he’s highly targeted. Not like he doesn’t get thrown at.

[@terelllauderdale9338]

No contest come on mossed?

[@MrReece9]

Randy Moss was my favorite player. Randy had that long lanky basketball player build. 6'4 210 4.25 speed and football IQ. The man had all the tools to be the greatest of all time. Unfortunately my man took alot of plays off.

Chris Carter should have been mentioned and it would have been fitting considering he lined up across from Randy like Fitz with Hop

[@clintbrunke2074]

I know not enough people got to see Larry play to understand just how good his catches week in and week out were. From terrible QBs like josh Rosen, matt linehert, John Skelton lol. To name a few. But if you want real evidence he had the best hands you just gotta watch interviews of other players talking about Fitz. The cards have a history of bringing in veterans from other teams late in their careers. Guys like emit smith , edrin James So on. And those guys in interviews would say that even in practice Fitz would make catches that made them stop in their tracks.

[@rockabye_baby187]

i think it's scary that nobody on this whole comment section did not mention my pick: cris "all he does is catch touchdowns" carter. if we're talking about only hands? he has to be the guy. as far as jumping ability, his ex-teammate moss could attest to this. we don't even know how many lessons and tricks carter showed randy during their time as viking teammates. he also impresses because it didn't matter what qb was throwing to him. if you put it in his radius he will haul it in. you will picks based on the highlight exploits of modern receivers like beckham jr. but a steady solid receiver who drops few if any passes like a hopkins and can make the biggest catches should be the consensus. in football, it's all a matter of opinion. megatron, julio, can't guard mike, t.o. dropped too many but had solid hands. rice is the best of all time overall. speed wise, anyone's guess.
