12. (TIE) Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals: 78 Points (ACTIVE)

Fitzgerald is currently tied for the No. 12 wide receiver in NFL history spot, but at the age of 31 he is definitely on pace to surpass the player he’s tied with in the coming years. Although his production has tapered off a bit in recent years (I blame his quarterbacks, not him), so he will have to put a few more amazing seasons together if he wants to get into the top 10 all-time. He almost helped lead Arizona to a Super Bowl Ring in 2008.

Twice Fitzgerald has led the NFL in receiving touchdowns and once he’s led the league in receptions. In the seven year stretch from 2005-2011 he posted six 1000-yard receiving seasons. Four times he’s topped the 1400 receiving yard mark in his career. He’s been named First Team All-Pro once, but has been named to eight Pro Bowls. He’s definitely one of the top players of his era. Not to mention he’s a definite fan-favorite.
