5. Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis Colts: 114 Points

Many people forget how special of a player Marvin Harrison truly was. He was arguably the most consistent great wide receiver of his generation. He had an eight-season stretch (1999-2006) with at least 1000 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns each year. That is just about as dominant as the NFL has ever seen a player be at the wide receiver position. Plus he won a Super Bowl with the Colts, too.

In his career he led the league in receiving yards and receptions twice and led the NFL in receiving touchdowns once. He had a four-year stretch with over 100 catches in each season (1999-2002). Three times Harrison was named First Team All-Pro and eight times he was named to a Pro Bowl roster — in eight consecutive seasons. He didn’t draw attention to himself in the era of diva wide receivers and flashy celebrations, perhaps that is why he’s often overlooked. Resumes hardly get better than that.
