Chiefs ESPN ranks the 10 best WRs

Couch-Potato · 07-10-2020, 10:27 PM

1) Julio Jones
2) Michael Thomas
3) D Hopkins
4) OBJ

5) Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
Age: 26 | Highest ranking: 3 | Lowest ranking: 11

Hill broke a close three-man race for the fifth spot because he wrecks a game plan like no one else. Since 2017, Hill has 21 receiving touchdowns reaching 20 mph, four more than any other player.

Best of NFL Nation

• Inside the process of renaming the Redskins
• Broncos' Jeudy a summer blockbuster
• Bucs' offense looks better, but faces hurdles
• Derek Carr has few excuses with new WRs
• Will Dak be with Cowboys for long haul?

The 4.2 40 speed helps, but that's not the only reason he breaks free.

"There are a lot of fast guys, but no one can take a shallow cross 80 yards like Tyreek," one NFL coordinator said. "He's got that football awareness to know where space is."

Many criticize Hill for choppy route running, pointing out that Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid maximize his ability. But Hill does No. 1 receiver things each week. He caught 77% of his third-down targets last year (20-of-26), third best among receivers with at least 15 targets on that down. His 42 receptions of 20-plus air yards since 2017 is an NFL high.

"Vision is his No. 1 thing -- where to go, get there, angles, stop and go -- he just toys with guys," a different NFL coordinator said.

6) Mike Evans
7) Devante Adams
8) Keenan Allen
9) Chri Godwin
10) Amari Cooper

Honorable Mentions: Diggs, Thielen, Galladay, Green, Sutton

Lowest 11.

I think Tyreek's production over OBJ should have won him the #4 slot, speed gives him argument for #3 potentially.

No WR has made as many big plays as Reek since he came into the NFL.

#1 most feared by CBs

Only 1 on that list has a SB ring- isn't that correct?

dlphg9 · 07-10-2020, 11:35 PM

I'd take Reek over any other WR. All of those other guys have been the only threat and get way more balls thrown their way.

Eh Julio I’d take. Dude gets double teamed all the time and still is 1 or 2 in receiving yards each year

List is bullshit.

1. Hopkins
2. Tyreek Hill
3. Julio Jones
4. OBJ
5. Mike Evans
6. Michael Thomas

And i'm not sure that Amari Cooper and Devante Adams belong on that list over Diggs and Thielen.

And yes, i would still take Tyreek over Hopkins if i were building a team.

comochiefsfan · 07-10-2020, 11:46 PM

Explain to me how in the world Odell Beckham is better than Tyreek at this point in their careers.

DRM08 · 07-10-2020, 11:56 PM

He impacts the game more than anyone else on the list.

**Rain Man** · 07-11-2020, 12:27 AM

They're off by four spots with Tyreek.
