Hines Ward
Playoff Stats: 217 games played (190 starts), 1,000 receptions, 12,083 yards, 85 TD
Hines Ward was merely a successful football player. During his successful career, the Steelers made the playoffs eight times, including two Super Bowl victories. He was an extremely effective player in all aspects of the game. Ward does not have some of his contemporaries’ eye-popping figures. The majority of that is due to him playing for a defensive-minded Pittsburgh squad that depended heavily on the run game. As a result, Ward made an impact as a run blocker on a regular basis. Ward, perhaps most importantly, always saved his best for the most vital situations. Ward ranks eighth all-time in playoff receiving yards and has 10 career postseason touchdowns, including two in the Super Bowl.

DeAndre Hopkins
Playoff Stats: 136 games played (136 starts), 789 receptions, 10,581 yards, 68 TD
DeAndre Hopkins, who is only 30 years old, has already established himself as a Hall of Famer. After only eight seasons in the league, the Houston draft pick surpassed 10,000 receiving yards in 2020. Hopkins ranks second in career receiving yards (10,581) among active NFL players, trailing only Julio Jones. His 77.8 yards per game are good for sixth all-time. Consider the quarterbacks Hopkins faced before to playing alongside Deshaun Watson and Kyler Murray. In 2017, Hopkins finished fourth in the voting for Offensive Player of the Year, a year in which Tom Savage and T.J Yates started 10 of Houston’s 16 games.
