26. (TIE) Chad Johnson, Cincinnati Bengals: 56 Points

Chad Johnson is rightfully remembered for his outlandish touchdown celebrations and occasional dramatic outbursts. Although some people have only remembered those things and have forgotten that for a time he was a dominant receiver. Seven 1000-yard receiving seasons in an eight year span is quite the accomplishment. Especially considering he hit the 1300-yard plateau four times in that stretch.

Once he led the league in receiving yards, but he never led the NFL in receptions or touchdown receptions. Twice he was named First Team All-Pro and six times he was invited to the Pro Bowl. Despite all of the distractions he caused, he really was one of the best receivers of his era. He did enough in his career to crack this top 30 list and for that his inclusion is worthy.
