Much like our entry with Terrell Davis, we wonder what kind of career numbers Sterling Sharpe would have put up had a neck injury not prematurely ended his career in his prime in 1994.  It is not out of the realm of possibility to think that he could have in the top ten in every major receiving category had he stayed healthy.

Sterling Sharpe was productive in every year he was in the NFL.  Three times he led the league in receptions and was the main go-to target for Brett Favre when the latter joined the Packers.  His apex season was in 1992 when he won the Wide Receiver’s version of the “Triple Crown” where he was the top performer in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.  In joining that elite group, many felt that he was truly the top Wide Receiver in the NFL.
