I'm a proud Miami Dolphins fan, and if anybody says anything bad about Andre Reed as a receiver, they're a moron. That guy ended so many games for us with his catches from Jim Kelly. I'm surprised it took him so long to make it to the the Hall of Fame. I always wished he had played for the Dolphins when Marino was our qb. Although I'm sure I'm the minority in that topic. :peace:

When Reed was at his peak I really didn't have an appreciation for his style of play. It wasn't until the mid 90's that I realized how tough he actually was.

Kelly
Collins
Reich
Flutie
Van Pelt
Johnson

ok new it gets tough
these are all guesses

Dufek
Munson
Brown
Ferrigamo

oh screw it I'll say Plumber (I know he signed with both Washington and Denver, but I'm pretty sure he only caught passes for one of them before getting cut and retireing)

dammit I knew it was Mathison and not Munson and I got the team wrong but were his catches all from the same QB?

I never, ever would have guessed that Rob Johnson is the all time Bills "yards per carry" leader.

I guess sacks don't count as negative rushing yards then.

They do in college. In the pros they count as negative passing yardage.

It was only during his Bills career so Jake is out.

I think Gale Gilbert started a game.

11. Andre is the all-time franchise leader in players that get fuglier as they get older.
