14. Reggie Wayne

In the early portion of his career, Wayne was largely overshadowed by Marvin Harrison, as he put up record numbers on a yearly basis. As the mid-200s rolled around, though, Wayne slowly became the go-to target of Peyton Manning, and at the same time became one of the best receivers in the game.

Wayne earned his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2006, catching 86 passes for over 1,300 yards and nine touchdowns. Indianapolis went on to beat the Bears in Super Bowl XLI that season. In 2007, Wayne led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,510 on 104 catches for 10 touchdowns.

Wayne was a Pro Bowler every season from 2006-10, and earned his first All-Pro selection in 2010. He caught 111 passes that season for 1,355 yards and six touchdowns. After Manning left, he continued to be the go-to target in the Colts offense with Andrew Luck.

In 2012, Wayne caught 106 passes for over 1,300 yards and five touchdowns as the Colts became a playoff team under the rookie signal caller. He retired after a productive 2014 season, and will definitely get into the Hall of Fame within the next five years.
