The only receiver who spawned a catch phrase this decade, Dez caught it plenty of times during his career in Dallas that stretched from through He did more than enough in those eight seasons, with catches, 7, yards, and 73 scores — all coming from one spot the X position in a meat and potatoes offense that did little to help him get open. If there was a most overrated list he would be 1 on it. DeAndre Hopkins. A pass-catching machine during the Peyton Manning heyday in Denver, Thomas had two so-so seasons with bad quarterbacks until Peyton arrived, sparking a three-year run of 1,, 1,, and 1, receiving yards and 35 total touchdown receptions. Brady is a product of Belichicks system. He still outperformed every receiver in the decade from a receptions standpoint, with Like Jones, Brown led the league in receiving yardage twice and made it to seven Pro Bowl rosters. I would take CantGuardMike over anyone on this list. Which should tell you how great Belichicks system is. They were a joy to watch. He went from an undrafted afterthought to the 1 receiver for Seattle for several years. Most over rated this decade is OBJ. Jacoby… you the man! In the past decade, he only cracked yards 3 times, and one of those years was for yards. With five 1,yard seasons and a pair of first-team All-Pro designations, Hopkins had more catches and receiving yards in the past decade than Johnson, in one additional season. He has delivered, with more receiving yards than anyone else in the decade 12, , and a level of ability that constantly commands extra attention from defenses. Those six years of dominance I thought would be unmatched for awhile, but Michael Thomas is on the verge of being even better. Not best of…. He ranks th in career yards and 77 in catches. He was a product of playing in a big market and alot of targets. Brady was a game manager, a very good one btw, but he never became cerebral until he studied how Peyton played the game. There are other great players in the league that deserve recognition for there accomplishments. Julio Jones. Not every player is going to get the chance to play for a great organization like New England. Jordy Nelson, Edelman, Baldwin, or a host of other receivers are more deserving than Dropsies Bryant. All four of those and a few others in the list will likely be in the HoF. He has more Super Bowls than everyone on this list…. Deshaun Jackson on this list is a joke! If being good and inconsistent or down because of injuries makes you top 10, Edelman deserves to be there before Jackson. An instant success from the moment he arrived in , Hilton has quietly racked up big numbers catches, 8, yards, 45 touchdowns as the clear-cut No. DeSean Jackson. Top 10 of a decade means performance throughout the decade, not a few important games in the decade. Those are 10 great receivers, but Michael Thomas and Mike Evans should be on this list. Dont forget his lone playoff game was a forgetful 3 drop performance vs the packers. Calvin Johnson. You did a much better job on this list than the LBs or D lineman. Manning has taken 4 different head coaches to the Super Bowl. No way hes top 10 over the course of the decade. Demaryius Thomas. Both are great from different stand points. DeSean Jackson was never elite in any year. One ha ded catches in practice and warmups dont win games. The ensuing lost season perhaps kept him from the No. If that was enough to get you a top 10 slot, Joe Flacco would be on the QB list. Jordy Nelson maybe??? Larry Fitzgerald. Glad to see you went swayed by a one handed catch and put OBJ on this list. His eventual Hall of Fame case is an intriguing one; he burned very bright for a relatively short period of time — without a single postseason win to show for his tenure in Detroit. This list is about overall production. He singlehandedly got Johnny Manziel drafted in the first round, and made Fitzpatrick and Jameis serviceable at times. Manning revolutionized the QB position. It will be interesting to see what he does in a new decade, possibly with a new team. Injuries began to take a toll in , and he missed all of due to an injury suffered during training camp. Dez has no place on this list. I believe Edelman is second only to Jerry Rice in post season receptions. Especially when you cant make two handed ones for simple first downs. Antonio Brown. So many people would put him in the top three. I see what you are saying. A speed burner who can singlehandedly transform an offense, Jackson has been a factor since arriving in His numbers for the decade are more than solid catches, 8, yards, 44 touchdowns, Dez Bryant. If I were drafting a receiver for the decade, Edelman would be in my top 10—statistics plus intangibles big plays on the big stage, tenacious blocker, attitude. Get real. Arriving like Julio Jones in , Green started his career with five straight 1,yard seasons and seven straight Pro Bowls for the Bengals. Edelman showed up in the big moments. Can we stop with this Super Bowl performances nonsense? Just those four makes this an impressive list. As much as I rooted against him the guy was class act and never took a play off. Steady, consistent, and effective, Fitzgerald in the past decade has gone from great player to sure-fire Hall of Famer to one of the finest players of all-time, at any position. A very low percentage of players that leave New England stay as successful as they were in New England. Remember when it was 1 2 Wallace Brown. Happy new year! One more possible honorable mention: Doug Baldwin. I could be tempted to move them around a bit but I think you hit on the best receivers. This list demonstrates how far behind actual football coaches and football strategy traditional thinking is. The chemistry those two had on the field was magical. He entered the league with high expectations when the Falcons made a huge jump in round one nearly nine years ago to get him. Feel free to put a couple of players ahead of Edelman but 10?{/INSERTKEYS}{/PARAGRAPH} Keep over rated scared to take a hit obj off the list. Slot receivers and those with flexibility move chains, create mismatches, and help win SBs. All jokes aside. He still has more than 8, receiving yards and catches. But he surprisingly retired after the season, with numbers in six seasons that are still more than enough to get him on the list. Michael Thomas being snubbed on this list is crazy to say the least. Unlike Jones, Brown was a first-team All-Pro four times, helping flip a Pittsburgh franchise from being known for defense to being dominant on offense. Larry Fitzgerald is unbelievable. Dude drops so many passes and is just a cancer. {PARAGRAPH}{INSERTKEYS}Now, the receivers. That big money deal in Miami was a ticket to oblivian for Mike. Dominance characterized his run in the NFL, and a two-year run starting in generated more than 3, receiving yards. Appreciate you. Solid list, we have been blessed with some great receivers in this decade, looking forward to seeing the younger generation develop further. Injuries have made this a down season for Hilton. I cant believe the fan fare that man gets. A consummate professional who has endured without complaint or agenda a revolving door of mediocrity at quarterback, Fitzgerald has shown up for work, done his job, and done it very well, with catches for 9, yards and 61 touchdowns during the past 10 seasons for the Cardinals. Either way, the receivers this decade have been top notch to watch. No chance he deserves to be on this list.
