15. (TIE) Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams: 73 Points

You knew at least one member of the “Greatest Show on Turf” was going to be on this list. Holt is the player that made it because he was by far the most dominant wide receiver of the group (Isaac Bruce had more career numbers that were spread out between more seasons). Bruce put together a four-year stretch of 1000-yard receiving seasons, Holt put together an eight year stretch. Holt also helped St. Louis win a Super Bowl in 1999 along with the rest of the ‘show.’

Twice Holt led the NFL in receiving yards and once he led the league in receptions. He was named First Team All-Pro once in his career, but was invited to seven Pro Bowls including in five straight seasons (2003-2007). He was on of the most consistent wide receivers of his generation and was a little overlooked because of fan-favorite Bruce also being on the team.
