NFL: Best Wide Receivers of All-Time

#1 Jerry Rice

Rice won three Super Bowl rings

Jerry Rice is by far and away the best Wide Receiver the NFL has ever seen. Rice holds multiple records that other Receivers cannot seem to get close to.

During his career, Rice played for the Oakland Raiders (2001-2004), the Seattle Seahawks (2004) and primarily the San Francisco 49ers. He suited up in San Fran between the years of 1985 and 2000.

The 49ers traded up one spot ahead of the Cowboys, to draft Rice with the 16th overall pick of the 1985 draft. His rookie year was a success despite having a few problems with drops. He accumulated 927 yards and an incredible 18.9 yards per catch.

His production went up in his sophomore year, tallying 15 TDs and 1570 yards. He kept up his impressive outings with the 49ers throughout his 15-year stint there, including catching 22 TDs in just 12 games during the 1987 season. As previously noted, Rice holds numerous records in the NFL.

These records include:

All-Time Receiving Yards leader – 22,895 yards

All- Time Reception leader – 1,549

All Time Touchdown Receptions – 197 TDs

During his illustrious career, Rice was selected to the Pro Bowl 13 times and in the process won three SuperBowl rings with the 49ers.

His Receiving yards total of 22,895 is nearly 7000 more than the next player, the aforementioned Terrell Owens, whilst his TD total is 41 more than the second-placed Moss.

With Rice leading the way in so many categories, it’s hard not to rank him top of this list.
