re: Top 5 receivers of the millennium

#1 Josh Reed
#2 Michael Clayton
#3 Dwayne Bowe
#4 Jarvis Landry
#5 Odell Beckham Jr.

Why does Byrd always get mentioned in these threads? He catches one great pass, and seems to be the only thing people remember about him.

Byrd was a very consistent and quality receiver.

Josh Reed is clearly number 1
LSU's and correct me if I'm wrong but also the SEC's only belitnikoff award winner since 2000

I think bowe and Clayton are interchangable at number 2

Jarvis Landry is next. He made catches that I haven't seen from any other reciever I've seen come through lsu (only been watching since early 90s)

Toss up between Beckam and Randle. Beckam probably has better stats, but he also played with an NFL arm under center

Bowe and Clayton are not interchangeable in any way. Clayton left early and Bowe didn't. If Clayton stays 1 more year his numbers would be untouchable in the books. Reed managed his numbers in 2 though so it would still be:

1. Reed
2. Clayton

If all receivers finished out their playing careers it would be:

Reed
Clayton
OBJ
Landry
Bowe

Just out: Lafell

The all time list would look more like:

Reed
Clayton
OBJ
Wendell Davis
Landry

Just out: Bowe and Lafell

This exactly

1. Reed
2. Clayton
3. Bowe
4. Landry
5. Randle

All I know is Landry is my favorite Tiger to catch balls.

Randle and TT got a bad hand dealt at LSU.

1) Josh Reed
2) Michael Clayton
3) Dwayne Bowe
4) Early Doucet
5) Jarvis Landry


When you think about it, LSU's WRs of the last decade+ is very impressive

Honorable mention
6) OBJr
7) Craig (Buster) Davis
8) Brandon LaFell
9) Rueben Randle
10) Devery Henderson
11) Demetrius Byrd

That's fine, but this is a "greatest" receiver thread not a "quality" receiver thread.

They got the same hand LaFell did. LaFell dominated 2 straight years with 1700 yards and 19 TDs scoring with a RS Fr, True Fr, and True So.

Yes they had a bad hand, but they needed to overcome that, for all the passes LaFell dropped, and the poorly coached QBs he had, he put up some of the best numbers you will find in a 2 year stint.
