1. Lynn Swann (1974-82) his numbers aren't good enough is the argument. My pitch has been quality over quantity. He saved his best for when the stakes were highest.

1. Lynn Swann (1974-82) his numbers aren't good enough is the argument. My pitch has been quality over quantity. He saved his best for when the stakes were highest.

2. James Lofton (1978-93) he was so dynamic downfield that people forget he could operate as a possession receiver as well.

3. Otis Taylor (1965-75) classic combination of size (6'3", 215 pounds) and speed that everybody's looking for now.

4. Mac Speedie (1946-52) finest receiver for the Cleveland browns teams when they terrorized the old all-America conference.

5. Harold Carmichael (1971-84) gigantic (6'8") target who was amazingly effective downfield.

6. Art Powell (1959-68) forgotten now, but the most feared receiver in the early days of the AFL.
