NFL: Best Wide Receivers of All-Time

#3 Terrell Owens

Owens enjoyed a lengthy career in NFL

Owens enjoyed a lengthy career in the NFL, spanning 16 seasons and 219 games. He was drafted in the third round of the 1996 draft, where the 49ers took him with the 89th overall pick.

Owens went on to strike up a good rapport with QBs Steve Young and Jeff Garcia in his first few seasons. He was a highly skilled receiver who was one of the best of his generation.

However, Owens was a controversial figure during his time in the league due to his overexuberant touchdown celebrations and a spitting incident with DeAngelo Hall. Despite the issues with his temperament, Owens went on to have a highly successful career.

TO is second on the all-time list for receiving yardage with 15,934 yards. The longest touchdown of his career was for the Buffalo Bills.

He caught a 98-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This was one of 153 career TDs, ranking him third on the all-time list. Owens is also one of only 14 men to have caught 1000 passes in the NFL.
