The Top 64 Receivers
According to ESPN.com
4. Andre Johnson
Houston Texans
Johnson is big (6-3, 219), physical, runs solid routes
and makes plays. In terms of physical tools, he is
every bit as good as the three guys in front of him. He
may have been overlooked in the past because of poor
quarterback play (see David Carr 2003-06) but should
improve as he works more with Matt Schaub. Johnson's
numbers last season (60 catches, 851 yards) would have
been more impressive if he had not missed seven games
with an injury.
5. Reggie Wayne
Indianapolis Colts
The only real knock on Wayne is that he has always been
1B to Marvin Harrison, who was 1A. That's no longer the
case as he is Peyton Manning's top option now. Wayne
has sneaky speed, which can catch a corner off guard.
He has a great feel for Indianapolis' system and the
ability to find holes in a defense.
33. Santana Moss
Washington Redskins
Moss is small (5-10, 200), but few players in the
league can rival his deep speed. He gets pushed around
too much, can wear down and has trouble staying
healthy. Also, he was tied for third in the league with
10 drops last season, according to Stats LLC. However,
with new coach Jim Zorn expected to throw more often
than the Redskins did in the past, Moss could have a
resurgence. It is clear he will never be a top red zone
option or a No. 1 wideout who can consistently handle
double-teams, but Moss can be a difference-maker as a
complementary option. Zorn will get the ball in his
hands.
51. Roscoe Parrish
Buffalo Bills
Parrish has been a versatile player for the Bills. He
is a No. 3 receiver who is best in the slot and using
his quickness and run-after-catch ability in space. His
biggest contribution, however, may come on special
teams handling punts and kickoffs.
