Buffalo Bills all-time Mount Rushmore

4. Andre Reed, WR (1985-99)

In 1984 and ’85, the Bills finished last in the AFC East with 2-14 records both seasons. There was impending change within the coaching staff and front office, but the 1985 draft was still a massive success.

In the first round, the Bills drafted Bruce Smith. We will discuss him much more later on. In the fourth round, the selection was a wide receiver out of Kutztown University named Andre Reed.

Reed, at age 21, had a respectable rookie season. Reed’s reception and receiving-yard numbers increased every season from his rookie year until 1989.

In 1988, Reed made his first Pro Bowl. The next season, he went for 88 catches, 1,312 yards and nine scores. He had entrenched himself as one of Kelly’s most reliable targets.

Reed would go on to have four 1,000+ receiving yard campaigns. He was the team’s leading receiver every season from 1988-94, and then again in ’96 and ’97. In total, he was named to seven Pro Bowls over the duration of his 16-year career.

Within the team’s record books, Reed owns every major receiving record. His 941 catches, 13,095 yards and 86 touchdowns are all the most in franchise history. In the playoffs, he tallied a career 85 catches, 1,229 yards and nine scores as well.

In 2014, Reed made it into the Hall of Fame. One of Jim Kelly’s best weapons, and an essential member to the iconic K-Gun offense in the 1990s, Reed’s name is chiseled in at four.
