26. (TIE) Fred Biletnikoff, Oakland Raiders: 56 Points

The Biletnikoff Award is given annually to the nation’s top college wide receiver. Obviously this list is about professional football, but whenever you have an award named after you — you know you were pretty damn good. And good Biletnikoff was in the pros; he was consistent and at times dominant throughout the 1960s and 70s.

Once he led the NFL in receptions, but failed to lead the league in touchdowns or receiving yards. Even so he was named to six Pro Bowl squads as well as being named First Team All-Pro twice. From 1969-1974 he was one of the game’s top receivers. He helped the Raiders win Super Bowl XI and was named MVP of that game. Clearly he made his mark in both college and professional football.
