The NFL is loaded with talent, and today we will take a look at some of the highest ended talent in the skilled positions on the field. The divas, the game changers, the playmakers. Yes, the WRs. Let’s look at the top 10 best wide outs in the league, and what makes them extraordinary.

10. Mike Wallace, 6-0, 180 lbs, Pittsburgh Steelers- The speed demon has really come on strong recently, the ultimate weapon flying down the field as a home run hitter. Avg season stats; 57 rcpt, 1069 YDs, 8 TDs, 18.7 YPC.

9. Brandon Marshall, 6-4, 230 lbs, Chicago Bears- The troubled WR never had doubt of his ability to play the game. It often fell into his ability to play well with others. He definitely has a special connect with Jay Cutler (odd how?). Avg season stats; 82 rcpt, 1041 YDs, 6 TDs, 12.6 YPC.

8. Hakeem Nicks, 6-0, 210 lbs, New York Giants- Young, wiry, and great hands. Hakeem Nicks has taken over the team as his team, and it’s only getting more. Manning has found him many times in the most crucial situations. Avg season stats; 67 rcpt, 1011 YDs, 8 TDs, 15.1 YPC.

7. Dwayne Bowe, 6-2, 222 lbs, Kansas City Chiefs- Playing with very mediocre QBs for 6 years and still putting up the kind of numbers he does says a lot for the player he is. He had struggled with drops at times, but his overall skill at the position puts him easily in the top 10. Avg season stats; 71 rcpt, 985 YDs, 7 TDs, 13.9 YPC.

6. Percy Harvin, 5-11, 200 lbs, Minnesota Vikings- The small extremely quick and elusive WR is the focal point for the Vikings passing game. His flexibility as a RB and a KR make him one of the top guys in the league to have on your team as a WR, who is willing to do it all. Avg WR season stats; 73 rcpt, 875 YDs, 6 receiving TDs, 12.0 YPC. In accumulation, Avg season stats in totality are 8 TDs, 1904 total yards/season, with 134 touches/season.

5. Andre Johnson, 6-3, 220 lbs, Houston Texans-The Texans have a different big strong WR in the league here, who is a catch master, and seems to always be open on the field. Avg season stats; 78 rcpt, 1073 YDs, 6 TDs, 13.8 YPC.

4. A.J. Green, 6-4, 212 lbs, Cincinnati Bengals-The young stud on the list, and the one who has shown serious signs of brilliance on the field. His leaping ability, great size and lean built, make him a nightmare to cover. Avg season stats; 65 rcpt, 1057 YDs, 7 TDs, 16.3 YPC.

3. Roddy White, 6-1, 202 lbs, Atlanta Falcons- An average sized WR with splendid route running ability who is on a 5 successive 80+ catch season run, including 2 straight 100+ reception seasons. Avg season stats; 76 rcpt, 1053 YDs, 6 TDs, 13.9 YPC.

2. Calvin Johnson, 6-5, 240 lbs, Detroit Lions-“Megatron” burst on the scene in 2007, opening his career with 4 TDs and 756 YDs, he showed great promise with not only his massive size, but his ability to move the ball downfield rapidly, Johnson puts up maddening numbers. Avg season stats; 73 rcpt, 1174 YDs, 10 TDs, 16.0 YPC.

1. Larry Fitzgerald, 6-3, 225 lbs, Arizona Cardinals- Playing with poor or puzzling QB situations for the majority of his career and still putting up amazing numbers says pretty much everything you need to understand about this sure handed WRs greatness. With six 1,000 YD seasons in his future HoF career already behind him, Fitz is still the best in the game today. Avg season stats; 87 rcpt, 1201 YDs, 9 TDs, 13.8 YPC.
