Jerry Rice was the best wide receiver ever to play in the NFL, and his records of 22,895 yards, 1,549 receptions and 197 touchdowns may never be broken.
Therefore, when the Hall of Fame receiver talks about today’s best athletes at the position, he knows what he’s talking about.
Below, he listed his top-five current NFL wide receivers, and former Alabama WR Julio Jones, now with the Atlanta Falcons, tops the list:
Also making appearances on the GOAT’s list are ex-LSU WR Odell Beckham Jr. (No. 4) and ex-Georgia star A.J. Green (No. 5).
Rice clearly valued experience over potential, as guys like Antonio Brown and Larry Fitzgerald are high on his list.
However, it’s hard to argue with any of his selections, as all five receivers are must-see TV on Sundays.
