Good thing the Patriots did pass on Julian Edelman.

He was the GOAT WR before Jerry Rice IMO. Best WR ever up until 1990.


I’d probably give that title to Don Huston.

Most underrated WR of all time.


I could agree with that. Him or Otis Taylor.

“I laughed at him,” Hayes recalled. “He didn’t look like a receiver, he looked like an insurance salesman. I thought, ‘I should be able to dominate this guy.’ But I’ll tell you what, he is God’s gift. I’ve covered everybody in the NFL--all those high-tech speed guys--but I’ve never covered anybody who gave me as many problems as Steve Largent did.” - Lester Hayes

Coming from Lester Hayes is pretty damn high praise. He and Mike Haynes flat out shut down Art Monk and Charlie Brown in SB 18, and Hayes would try to beat receivers up on the line and get all that stickum on them.
