On any given Saturday last season, Amari Cooper was dancing down the field on his way to end zone.

That’s what it felt like to watch him play. Cooper made the intricate series of steps in a receiver’s job look effortless — run the route, look back for the ball, make the reception, side-step a defender, jump over a different defender, slow down for a teammate’s block, and then tightrope the sideline at top speed toward a touchdown.

Fantastic wide receivers like Cooper are often what make college football worth watching. They generate points, make opponents look foolish, and do it all with the dramatic flair that comes with falling into the end zone after catching a 60-yard touchdown pass.

Before the 2015 wide receivers take the field, let’s take a look back at the 10 best wide receivers to grace the college football world in the last decade.

Honorable Mentions: Sidney Rice, South Carolina; A.J. Green, Georgia; Golden Tate, Notre Dame; Odell Beckham Jr., LSU; Calvin Johnson, Georgia Tech; Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State

10. Julio Jones, Alabama: Now an impact player in the NFL, Jones was also an impact player when he was with the Crimson Tide. He was always a reliable target, whether the goal was the next first down or a touchdown deep downfield. He set many school records while at Alabama, including the most receptions in a season and most receiving yards in a single season. Those records were broken by a wide receiver still to come on the list.

Career Stats: 179 receptions, 2,653 receiving yards, 17 total touchdowns

9. Alshon Jeffery, South Carolina: During his three years playing for the Gamecocks, Jeffery broke a variety of school records previously held by Sidney Rice. He still has the most career receiving yards in school history, as well as the most single season receiving yards. He also tied Rice for the most career touchdowns. Jeffery dazzled crowds with his ability to shake off defenders and to make jumping one-handed catches.

Career Stats: 183 receptions, 3,042 receiving yards, 23 total touchdowns

8. Michael Crabtree, Texas Tech: Crabtree took not only the Big 12 but the nation by storm. In his freshman year, he racked up nearly 2,000 receiving yards, putting him first in the nation. He was the 10th overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, making him the highest drafted Red Raider since 1965.

Career Stats: 231 receptions, 3,127 receiving yards, 41 total touchdowns

7. Tavon Austin, West Virginia: In 2011, quarterback Geno Smith worked with Austin to propel the Mountaineers to a 10-3 season record, as well as a 70-33 win over Clemson in the Orange Bowl. Austin recorded four touchdowns in that game alone, setting a bowl record. Similar to Harvin, Austin could make plays no matter where he was on the field. He was drafted eighth overall in the 2013 NFL Draft.

Career Stats: 288 receptions, 3,413 receiving yards, 1,033 rushing yards, 35 total touchdowns

6. Marqise Lee, USC: In 2012, Lee was the top receiver in the Pac-12. He was also second in the nation in receiving yards. He excelled at producing yards after the catch as well as navigating through defenders to find open field. He still holds the school record for the most receiving yards in a game, in a season, and in a career.

Career Stats: 248 receptions, 3,655 receiving yards, 29 total touchdowns

5. Amari Cooper, Alabama: The receiver who broke Jones’s records was none other than Cooper, the fourth pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. The combination of excellent hand-eye coordination with the ability to hit top speed in the blink of an eye made Cooper one of the most coveted wide receivers in college football. In 2014, he was the top receiver in the SEC and had the second-most receiving yards in the nation.

Career Stats: 228 receptions, 3,463 receiving yards, 31 total touchdowns

4. Percy Harvin, Florida: It didn’t matter if he started from the backfield or was tossed the ball at midfield, Harvin exploded as soon as he touched the football. No gap was too small to slip through, and no defender too fast to get around. His most telling numbers are the averages: in his three years at Florida, he never went below an average of 9 yards a carry and 12 yards a reception.

Career Stats: 133 receptions, 1,929 receiving yards, 1,852 rushing yards, 32 total touchdowns

3. Michael Floyd, Notre Dame: It’s rare for a successful wide receiver to stay with his college program for four years, but Floyd did just that, recording better numbers each subsequent season. He was a big deep threat who also was a go-to on third-and-long situations. He was also never afraid to take on a linebacker when needed. He still holds the Notre Dame career receiving yards record.

Career Stats: 271 receptions, 3,686 receiving yards, 38 total touchdowns

2. Justin Blackmon, Oklahoma State: Blackmon battled for the title of best receiver in the Big 12 with the No. 1 player on our list during the course of his college career, but was also outstanding in his own right. Blackmon was skilled at churning out yards after a catch, and displayed exceptional quickness in short bursts. In 2010, he had the second most receiving yards and the most receiving touchdowns in the nation.

Career Stats: 253 receptions, 3,564 receiving yards, 41 total touchdowns

1. Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma: Broyles finished three his four seasons with more than 1,000 receiving yards. In fact, he has the second-most career receiving yards in college football history, and still holds virtually every receiving record in Oklahoma history. Broyles helped the Sooners to three seasons of 10-plus wins, including a BCS National Championship appearance.

Career Stats: 349 receptions, 4,586 receiving yards, 46 total touchdowns
