49ers John Taylor...he was always widely respected but he could never escape Jerry Rice's shadow.

He's probably the least famous, most accomplished and most forgotten WR ever all put together.

Well.. atleast one of them..

Wayne Chrebet...undersized but heart of a lion. Great route runner and hands. Concussions unfortunately hurt his career. Undrafted and was rank number 11 out of 11 on the depth chart while a walk on

He retired too early also and went unnoticed. I think Michael Crabtree is like JT.

yeah Wayne is a good choice, he's a very forgotten wide out considering he barely even got into the league. A lot of the new Jets fans have no idea who this guy even was, but fail to realize that he and Keyshawn were a hell of a tandem 10+ years ago. And he was almost as valuable as Keyshawn considering that Keyshawn was the No. 1 choice in 96' (I think) and Wayne was a walk on. Those two worked together coming from the total opposites of the spectrum.

Oh, was JT a selfish diva, too? Funny, 'cause I don't remember him that way.

Crabtree isn't underrated. He's a dime-a-dozen knucklehead.

I think Donald Driver deserves a mention. He has never been mentioned among the leagues best but had more receiving yards between 2003 and 2009 than any other receiver in the league by far. He is reliable and one of the best slot receivers that has played the game. Very few guys can catch those balls on the slant routes like he can.

i think it's the sort of thing you can't determine by looking at numbers.

WR production is going to be limited if you have no running game, or if your QB has no time to throw.

JT is known for the winning TD catch in the SB. He had Rice on the other rice.

I think it's fair to say that if you asked 10 football fans under the age of 25 who John Taylor was...you'd be lucky to get 1 who does.
