Isaac Bruce

Career Stats: 223 games played (201 starts), 1,024 receptions, 15,208 yards, 91 TD

Bruce, the least celebrated member of the Greatest Show on Turf, was a consistent performer who helped create one of the league’s greatest offenses. Bruce was arguably the best No. 2 receiver of all time, which speaks something about his talent. It requires a particular type of player to regularly perform at a high level when they are not the team’s first choice. Bruce was widely featured when he first joined the Rams. In his second season, the Memphis product was targeted 199 times, the fifth-highest number in NFL history since targets were first recorded in 1992. However, the Rams used a first-round pick on Torry Holt in 1999. Bruce moved into a supporting position and thrived on short-to-intermediate routes. His professionalism and incredible longevity propelled him to fourth all-time in career receiving yards.

Julio Jones

Career Stats: 145 games played (144 starts), 879 receptions, 13,330 yards, 61 TD

Julio Jones might end up in the top 15 after everything is said and done. Jones, who possesses remarkable athleticism, has been a sensation in the NFL since his debut in 2011. The two-time All-Pro led the league in receptions with 136 and yards with 1,871 in 2015. Jones caught at least 83 catches and gained at least 1,394 yards from 2014 to 2019. For someone as skilled as Jones, it’s strange that he hasn’t scored more touchdowns in his career. His current season high is ten points, which he set in his second season. Jones has struggled with injuries in previous seasons, but there is hope that he will recover his form alongside Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.
