Everyone wants to be a wide receiver.
It’s not hard to see why, either – they are the rockstars of the NFL. Catching passes, scoring touchdowns, and doing so all while rocking arm sleeves, grills, and doing whatever Tik Tok dance is popular at that very second in the end zone? Who wouldn’t want to be a receiver?
In today’s NFL, there are more talented wideouts than any period in the history of the game, so shrinking this list down to 32 was difficult and means several good players will be left off the list.
