11. Torry Holt

Torry Holt came into the league in 1999 and was immediately part of one of the greatest offenses in NFL history with “The Greatest Show on Turf.” The Rams won the Super Bowl that season, but Holt was overshadowed by Marshall Faulk and Issac Bruce, as well as his MVP quarterback, Kurt Warner.

Holt was quietly one of the best, and most consistent, receivers of the 2000s. He led the league in receiving yards in 2000 with 1,635 yards on 82 receptions, good for an average of 19.9 yards per reception. Holt led the league in both receptions and yards in 2003, totaling 117 catches for 1,696 yards and 12 touchdowns, earning All-Pro honors that season.

Unfortunately for Holt, the years after Kurt Warner weren’t kind to the Rams as a whole. The Rams were hopeful about Marc Bulger, but he never panned into what they were hoping he could be, and the Rams were a mediocre team throughout the remainder of Holt’s time in St. Louis. Regardless, he retired with over 13,000 yards and 74 touchdowns. He was a seven-time Pro Bowler and was named All-Pro once. He is another one of these guys that will absolutely get in, but he has been kept waiting.
