I've had this discussion with people a few times and it's always interesting to see the answers. Give your nominations and some supporting evidence.
I'll start with one of the slightly less obvious choices. Steve Smith continues to amaze me on a regular basis. Hes like 5'9 and 185 yet constantly comes down with balls he seems to have no business catching. Imagine if this guy had one of the elite QBs in the league throwing him the ball?
Andre Johnson or Larry Fitzgerald.

pure receiving, im still having a mancrush on steve smith... like BMN said he catches balls that shouldn't be caught...... plus im reminded of that one playoff game a few years ago, where he caught it and was gone to the house.
in terms of intangibles like blocking and such... hines ward is easily tops.... ask that cincy d player who got his jaw broken.
in terms of feeds off of his teammates, and in turn always seems to play well is the tandem of Larry Fitzgerald and Anquin Boldin. thats probably one of my favorite tandems in the league

Even 3 years later, I consider Ward to be the best. He makes everyone around him better, The QB, RB and WR's. He's a phenom a player like him only comes along once and a blue moon.I think Hines Ward is the best in the NFL. He is the smartest WR with the best hands is a team player and always catches the ball. On a side note I dont think Moulds is top 10 anymore.
My List.
1.Ward
2.TO
3.Moss
4.Harrison
5.Johnson
6.Holt
7.Rod Smith
8.Bruce
9.Horn
10.Andre Johnson
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
YES
Ward is awesome but clearly not the best in the game.
Randy Moss, T.O. or Roddy White.
No Way do I even consider Moss to be top 5. He's too one dimensional.
Im Suprised Housmenzedah isn't getting any love. He's been really good as has Greg Jennings these two are the future elite WRS in the league
1. Fitz
2. TO
3. A. Johnson
4. S. Smith
5. Jennings
6. Ca. Johnson
7. White
8. Ward
9. Moss
10. Housh
COMING SOON...
Calvin Johnson is a little high (for now).
And Boldin is better than Housh.
I dont think so. Calvin has put up good numbers playing on the worst team in football and he's very underrated. He still has slight drop issues but he's getting better every game.
Drops are a major pet peeve of mine.
Same reason why I would put Johnson ahead of TO (right now).
But Boldin is top 10. Agree? (Give it up for the FSU guy.)
Border line top 10, I like Housh better as a pure WR but Boldin may have the better all around game as a blocker and working back to the QB.
I'd still put Ocho Cinco over Housh.
T.O.
I'm going with Moss.

"I don't care if the word is "your" or "you're", so buzz off. Its (it's) a frickin(') message board." ~ yordad
I knew you would say that.
You really put him ahead of Fitz?
