Best NFL Wide Receivers of the 20th Century
This list counts down the best NFL wide receivers of the 20th century (The 1900s).The Top Ten
1 Don Hutson
He had everything that is needed in a receiver. He could outrun anyone on the field with energy still left in him. He could catch anything thrown his way. If he had four defenders on him, he could still come out with the reception and get the touchdown-in an era where the rules favored the defense.
And, he created almost all of the routes that are used today.
There has never been an NFL player like him.
