I’ve been glued to the NFL, especially when it comes to wide receivers. They are just so fun to watch! So, I started thinking, “Why not try to rank them?” Not professionally, of course, just for fun. Here’s how I got into it.
First, I made a simple list of all the wide receivers I could think of. Then I started watching games, not just my team’s but all the games. I wanted to see these guys in action. Took notes like a madman – catches, drops, yards after catch, everything.
Digging Deeper
Watching wasn’t enough. I dove into stats. You know, receptions, yards, touchdowns, the usual stuff. Websites, sports news, you name it, I checked it. I even found some cool tools online where you can compare players. That was a game-changer, seeing all the numbers side-by-side.
After gathering all this info, I started sorting. It was tough! Some guys are clear superstars, but then it gets tricky. Do you rate someone higher because they’re consistent, or do you go for the flashy player who has a few amazing games but isn’t always on top form?
The Fun Part – My Own Rankings
Finally, I put together my own rankings. It’s just my opinion, based on what I’ve seen and the numbers I crunched. I didn’t follow any expert’s list, though I did peek at a few to see if I was way off. Mostly, I trusted my gut. Here is my top 5:
- Justin Jefferson
- Tyreek Hill
- CeeDee Lamb
- Ja’Marr Chase
- Amon-Ra St. Brown
It was a fun project. I learned a lot about these players and about how stats can tell a story, but they’re not the whole story. Anyone else done something like this? Would love to hear how your rankings turned out!
