Elroy Hirsch, a Hall of Famer, was unquestionably one of the best athletes of his generation. He played all around the field for both the Chicago Rockets and the Los Angeles Rams. Though he began his career as a do-it-all sort of player (rushing for 226 yards and intercepting six passes as a rookie), Hirsch spent the second half of his career as one of the league’s finest wideouts. Hirsch set an NFL record with 1,495 receiving yards in 1951, which was not broken for another 20 years.

The receiver once known as “Ochocinco” set the league ablaze in his time as a distinctive character with a dynamic skill set. From 2002 to 2007, Johnson had 1,100-plus receiving yards every year, winning five Pro Bowls and two All-Pro First-Team selections along the way. Johnson could speak a big game, but he couldn’t back it up on the field. He was a skilled route runner with sure hands. His confidence was unrivaled, and he used it to gain an advantage over the league’s finest defensive backs.
