Jeff Wilkins joined the Rams in 1997 after brief stops in Philadelphia and San Francisco and became a steady leg for one of the era’s most explosive offenses. He was part of the Super Bowl XXXIV team that beat the Titans, connecting on three of four field goals and both extra points in the 23-16 win. The dome in St. Louis suited him, and he settled in as a dependable option from short and intermediate range. He earned the nickname “Money” for his consistency in close games.
The individual high point arrived in 2003. He made 39 of 42 field goals, led the NFL in points and field goals, and earned his only Pro Bowl selection along with second-team All-Pro honors. That season he tied a then-record for field goals made. He also led the league in field goals again in 2006. Wilkins was accurate inside 40 yards and capable of longer kicks when the offense needed them. He set a franchise record with six field goals in one game that year and became the first Rams player to reach 1,000 career points.
The Super Bowl win and the 2003 season were the clear highlights. Quieter years fell in between, including a stretch in 2002 when he briefly experimented with barefoot kicking to fix a mechanical issue. Accuracy dipped in some seasons, and kick volume varied with the offense. Still, he remained the starter through 2007 and kept the scoring totals climbing.
Wilkins retired after the 2007 season as the Rams’ all-time leading scorer with 1,223 points. He made 265 field goals and converted nearly every extra point during his 11 years in St. Louis. The 1999 championship run and the 2003 Pro Bowl year stand as the strongest stretches. The rest was the steady accumulation of points that put him at the top of the franchise list. He left as the most productive kicker in Rams history.
Steven Jackson arrived in St. Louis as the 24th overall pick in the 2004 Draft out of Oregon State, brought in to eventually replace an aging Marshall Faulk. He showed promise as a rookie with 673 rushing yards in limited duty, then took over as the full-time starter in 2005. From there, he became one of the league’s more consistent runners, posting at least 1,000 rushing yards every season from 2005 through 2012. Two of those years reached the 1,400-yard mark and ranked in the top five in the league.
His peak came in 2006, when Jackson rushed for a career-high 1,528 yards and 13 touchdowns while also catching 90 passes for 806 yards. That combination gave him 2,334 yards from scrimmage, the highest total in the NFL that season, along with the league lead in all-purpose yards. He earned Second-Team All-Pro honors and his first Pro Bowl selection. Jackson was a powerful back who could break tackles between the hashes and also serve as a reliable receiver out of the backfield, which made him hard to defend in a variety of looks.
He stayed productive for years afterward even as the Rams struggled as a team. In 2009, Jackson rushed for 1,416 yards, finishing second in the league, and earned another Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro nod. He returned to the Pro Bowl the following year after another 1,000-yard season. Jackson topped 1,000 rushing yards in 2011 and 2012, showing durability and a willingness to carry a heavy workload on an offense that often lacked balance around him.
Jackson left the Rams after the 2012 season and signed with the Atlanta Falcons. With St. Louis, he finished as the franchise’s all-time leading rusher with 10,138 yards. He also added 3,324 receiving yards during those nine seasons, giving him more than 13,000 yards from scrimmage in a Rams uniform.
His three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro nods capture the best of his years in St. Louis, while the long streak of 1,000-yard seasons shows the consistency that defined the rest of his time there. Jackson gave the Rams a workhorse back who produced at a high level for nearly a decade.
Marc Bulger had the dubious task of replacing Kurt Warner as the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams, but it took time—which, given how long it took Warner to land the job, was appropriate.
The New Orleans Saints selected Bulger in the sixth round of the 2000 draft out of West Virginia. He never made the roster there, spent a brief time on the Atlanta Falcons’ practice squad, and eventually landed on the St. Louis Rams’ practice squad late in the 2000 season. He re-signed with the Rams in January 2001 and spent that year as the third-string quarterback, inactive for the entire regular season and Super Bowl run. In 2002, after the Rams started 0-5 and both Warner and Jamie Martin went down, Bulger stepped in. He went 6-1 as a starter, completing 64.5 percent of his passes for 1,826 yards, 14 touchdowns, and only six interceptions, and earned team MVP honors.
Mike Martz named him the full-time starter in 2003. Bulger responded by leading the Rams to a 12-4 record and an NFC West title, throwing for 3,845 yards and 22 touchdowns. He earned the first of two Pro Bowl selections that year (the other came in 2006) and was named Pro Bowl MVP. He continued as the starter through the mid-2000s, posting strong seasons in 2004 (3,964 yards) and a career-high 4,301 yards with 24 touchdowns in 2006. After that 2006 campaign, the Rams signed him to a six-year, $65 million extension, making him the highest-paid player in franchise history. Injuries and a declining offensive line took a toll afterward; the team went 6-42 from 2007 to 2009, and Bulger’s efficiency dropped amid heavy sacks and limited protection.
On April 5, 2010—his 33rd birthday—the Rams released him, clearing the way for the selection of Sam Bradford with the first overall pick. Bulger spent 2010 as a backup with the Baltimore Ravens without playing a regular-season snap, then retired in August 2011.
Over his career, Bulger compiled 22,814 passing yards, 122 touchdowns, 93 interceptions, 62.1 percent completion rate, with an 84.4 passer rating.
A Super Bowl champion with the Green Bay Packers, Adam Timmerman signed with the St. Louis Rams and helped protect the offensive line for one of the most exciting offenses of the late 1990s and early 2000s. For what it is worth, Timmerman made history by becoming the first player in NFL history to win and lose a Super Bowl with two different teams.
The path to the Rams began after four seasons in Green Bay. Drafted in the seventh round in 1995 out of South Dakota State, Timmerman started every game from 1996 through 1998 and won Super Bowl XXXI. Following the 1998 season, he hit free agency. In February 1999, the Rams signed him to a five-year deal (reportedly in the $19 million range) to fortify the right side of the line. Line coach Jim Hanifan later called the addition “the missing link.”
Timmerman stepped in immediately as a full-time starter and became a foundational piece of the Greatest Show on Turf. In 1999, he started all 16 games as the Rams went 13-3 and won Super Bowl XXXIV. He returned to the Super Bowl after the 2001 season, starting in the loss to New England in Super Bowl XXXVI. That 2001 campaign also earned him a Pro Bowl selection (he was also called in as an alternate in 1999 due to injuries) and second-team All-Pro honors. He remained a reliable right guard through the mid-2000s, serving as team captain from 2003 to 2005 while the offense stayed potent under Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, and the receiving corps. His durability was exceptional—he started nearly every game he played in St. Louis.
After the 2006 season, the Rams released him on February 27, 2007. Timmerman officially retired following that campaign. He started 124 of his 126 games for the club.
Selected 13th overall out of the University of Pittsburgh in the 2014 NFL Draft, Aaron Donald entered the professional ranks with legendary collegiate credentials. In his final season with the Panthers, Donald put together one of the most dominant individual campaigns in NCAA history, sweeping the ACC Defensive Player of the Year, Lombardi Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award, and Outland Trophy. Despite initial concerns regarding his 6-foot-1, 280-pound frame, Donald shattered all expectations from the moment he stepped onto an NFL field, capturing the 2014 Defensive Rookie of the Year Award and earning his first of ten consecutive Pro Bowl selections.
What made Donald an absolute force of nature was a rare combination of explosive get-off speed, terrifying leverage, and relentless technique. Operating primarily from the interior defensive tackle position—a spot traditionally tasked with absorbing double-teams—Donald routinely disarmed offensive linemen with a lightning-fast first step and hand-combat mechanics that blew up plays before they could develop. His ability to generate edge-rusher-level pressure from the 3-technique alignment disrupted offensive schemes like no defensive tackle before him, forcing opposing coordinators to completely rewrite their game plans.
Following his stellar rookie year, Donald established himself as the indisputable premier defensive tackle in football, stringing together four consecutive First-Team AP All-Pro selections from 2015 to 2018. His steady trajectory reached new heights in 2017 when he captured his first AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year Award despite playing in just 14 games. Rather than plateauing after reaching the peak of his profession, Donald responded by putting together a 2018 campaign that stands among the greatest single seasons ever recorded by an interior lineman.
During that historic 2018 season, Donald led the NFL with a mind-boggling 20.5 sacks and 25 tackles for loss, setting the single-season sack record for a defensive tackle. Behind his game-breaking dominance, the Rams marched all the way to Super Bowl LIII. Joining Lawrence Taylor and J.J. Watt as one of only three players in league history to win back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year honors, Donald's individual brilliance carried Los Angeles back into national prominence. He followed that up in 2019 by capturing his fifth straight First-Team All-Pro nod while once again leading the league with 20 tackles for loss.
As the sport entered a new decade, Donald's dominance remained unchallenged. Named a unanimous choice for the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team, he kicked off the 2020s by capturing his third AP Defensive Player of the Year Award, tying Taylor and Watt for the most in NFL history, while topping the league with a 20 Approximate Value. In 2021, the Rams' aggressive, championship-caliber roster put it all together. Donald capped off his seventh consecutive First-Team All-Pro season by sealing Super Bowl LVI, pressuring Cincinnati's Joe Burrow on fourth down to secure the franchise's second Lombardi Trophy.
Following two more elite seasons that brought his First-Team All-Pro total to eight and extended his streak of Pro Bowl selections to a perfect ten-for-ten, Donald initially announced his retirement from professional football in March 2024. Leaving the game at age 32 with 111.0 career sacks, 176 tackles for loss, and 24 forced fumbles, he solidified his status as a first-ballot Hall of Famer and a consensus pick for the Mount Rushmore of defensive linemen.
However, the story of the legendary wrecking ball received an unexpected, blockbuster addition. In late August 2026, after two full seasons away from the gridiron, Donald sent shockwaves across the sporting landscape by officially coming out of retirement to re-sign with the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year deal. Drawn back by the competitive fire and the opportunity to pair with newly acquired pass-rusher Myles Garrett, Donald's return instantly elevated the Rams into heavy Super Bowl contention once again.
While head coach Sean McVay opted to ramp Donald up slowly—holding him out of the team's Week 1 clash in Australia to ensure peak physical readiness—his presence on the 2026 roster reaffirms his immortal bond with the organization. His decision to put the horns back on serves as the ultimate bonus chapter for a star who spent ten seasons dominating the interior line of scrimmage in Southern California.
Whether viewed through his initial ten-year sprint or his 2026 comeback, Donald's candidacy as the greatest player in Rams history is well earned. His uncanny ability to destroy passing pockets from the inside while remaining a dominant run defender forced NFL offenses to rethink how to protect the quarterback. Facing constant double- and triple-teams for a decade, he simply converted that extra attention into highlight-reel disruption.
Going into this season, Donald compiled 543 total tackles (340 solo, 203 assists), 111.0 sacks, 176 tackles for loss, 256 quarterback hits, 24 forced fumbles, and seven fumble recoveries. Let’s see what he adds in 2026!
Torry Holt entered the league as the sixth overall pick out of North Carolina State in 1999 and immediately joined the Greatest Show on Turf. As a rookie, he caught 52 passes for 788 yards and six touchdowns while helping the Rams win Super Bowl XXXIV. In that game, he caught seven passes for 109 yards and a score, giving the offense another reliable option alongside Isaac Bruce. Holt was a precise route-runner with the speed to stretch the field and the hands to make contested catches, fitting perfectly into an attack that was already lighting up scoreboards.
He broke out the next season by leading the NFL with 1,635 receiving yards. In 2003, he topped that with a career-high 1,696 yards and an NFL-leading 117 receptions, earning First-Team All-Pro honors. From 2000 through 2005, he posted six straight seasons of at least 1,300 yards, a stretch of consistency few receivers have matched. He kept producing after that with two more 1,100-yard campaigns, staying a primary target even as the roster turned over and quarterbacks changed.
Holt earned seven Pro Bowl selections during his time with the Rams and remained one of the league’s most dependable receivers. Defenses knew he would be targeted, yet he kept creating separation and producing big plays week after week. The production never really dropped off until late in his run in St. Louis.
He left after the 2008 season and finished his career in Jacksonville. With the Rams, he totaled 869 receptions, 12,660 receiving yards, and 74 touchdowns. Those numbers rank among the best in franchise history and reflect a decade of steady excellence.
Holt was named to the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade Team. He has been a frequent Hall of Fame finalist in recent years, recognition for the receiver who went from a Super Bowl champion as a rookie to one of the most consistent producers of his era in St. Louis.
Selected in the third round (86th overall) of the 1976 NFL Draft out of Jackson State—where he played alongside Walter Payton—Jackie Slater arrived in Los Angeles as a backup before becoming the standard for offensive-line longevity. Spending his first three seasons primarily on special teams and as a reserve, Slater absorbed the professional game until taking over as the full-time starting right tackle in 1979. That year, he helped anchor an offensive line that led the Rams to an NFC Championship and a berth in Super Bowl XIV against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Once entrenched at right tackle, Slater launched a reign of relentless durability that defined two decades in Southern California. From 1979 onward, he was a steady fixture on the edge, starting 211 regular-season games for the franchise. Opposing edge rushers struggled to solve his technique, as his combination of lateral footwork and brute strength neutralized the league's most fearsome pass rushers throughout the 1980s.
Slater earned seven Pro Bowl selections (1983, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, and 1990) and four Second-Team AP All-Pro honors. Whether blocking for Eric Dickerson during his record-breaking 2,105-yard rushing campaign in 1984 or protecting signal-callers like Vince Ferragamo and Jim Everett, Slater consistently anchored one of the league's most dominant front fives.
His 20-season career with a single franchise set an NFL record for offensive linemen, spanning 19 years in Los Angeles (1976–1994) and concluding with a single final game after the team relocated to St. Louis in 1995. By the time he retired, Slater had blocked for 24 different quarterbacks and 37 different running backs, leaving behind an unmatched standard of consistency and professional dedication.
In 1996, the franchise permanently honored his legendary service by retiring his #78 jersey. His transcendent career achieved ultimate gridiron immortality in 2001, when he was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.
Traded from the Indianapolis Colts in the spring of 1999, Marshall Faulk arrived in St. Louis and immediately revolutionized the running back position. Already an elite dual-threat weapon during his five seasons with the Colts, Faulk elevated his skill set to unheard-of heights under head coach Dick Vermeil and offensive coordinator Mike Martz. His arrival helped transform a struggling franchise into "The Greatest Show on Turf"—the most explosive offensive machine in NFL history.
In his legendary 1999 debut season with the Rams, Faulk put together one of the most remarkable individual campaigns in gridiron history. Playing as both a traditional tailback and an unmatched slot receiver, he rushed for 1,381 yards and caught 87 passes for 1,048 receiving yards. By doing so, he became only the second player in NFL history (joining Roger Craig) to eclipse 1,000 rushing and 1,000 receiving yards in the same season, setting a then-NFL record with 2,429 yards from scrimmage.
Faulk’s versatility and processing speed made him the undisputed engine of the Rams' high-flying attack. Defenses couldn't match up against him, as he could slice through defensive lines between the tackles or split out wide to obliterate linebackers in single coverage. His relentless execution in both phases of the offense gave quarterback Kurt Warner the ultimate escape hatch, propelling St. Louis to a 13–3 record and the franchise's first Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XXXIV.
The dynamic back somehow raised the bar even higher over the next two seasons, producing an unprecedented three-year run of individual brilliance. Faulk captured the AP NFL Most Valuable Player award in 2000 after scoring a staggering 26 touchdowns in just 14 games, followed by winning three consecutive AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year awards from 1999 through 2001. During this historic peak, he earned three consecutive First-Team AP All-Pro selections and guided the Rams back to Super Bowl XXXVI.
Beyond his eye-popping statistical output, Faulk served as an extension of the coaching staff on the field. His elite football IQ allowed him to call out defensive coverages, adjust pass protection schemes at the line of scrimmage, and exploit subtle mechanical flaws in opposing front sevens. His rare vision, combined with pristine route-running precision out of the backfield, redefined expectations for modern all-purpose running backs for generations.
Faulk retired after the 2006 season with over 19,000 all-purpose yards and 136 touchdowns. The Rams retired his No. 28 jersey in 2007. In 2011, he entered the Pro Football Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. With the Rams, he compiled 6,959 rushing yards with 58 rushing touchdowns, 470 receptions for 4,071 receiving yards with 27 receiving touchdowns, and 11,030 yards from scrimmage.
When the St. Louis Rams selected Ohio State offensive tackle Orlando Pace with the first overall pick in the 1997 NFL Draft, they weren't just picking a blue-chip prospect—they were laying the bedrock foundation for one of the most explosive offenses in pro football history. A two-time Outland Trophy winner and Lombardi Award recipient with the Buckeyes, Pace famously popularized the term "pancake block," flattening collegiate defenders with a combination of raw power, pristine footwork, and effortless lateral agility.
Stepping directly into the starting lineup at left tackle, Pace wasted no time proving that his rare athletic traits translated seamlessly to the professional level. While every great team boasts headline skill players, "The Greatest Show on Turf" required an unyielding anchor on the blind side to operate its intricate, deep-developing passing concepts. Pace provided exactly that, giving head coach Dick Vermeil and offensive coordinator Mike Martz the luxury of keeping extra receivers in the route progression without needing tight end or running back chips on his edge.
The breakout moment for both Pace and the franchise arrived during the magical 1999 season. Protecting unexpected breakout quarterback Kurt Warner, Pace put together a masterclass campaign, securing his first career Pro Bowl selection and First-Team AP All-Pro honors. His impenetrable pass protection allowed Warner to toss 41 touchdown passes and throw for 4,353 yards, culminating in a thrilling 23–16 victory over the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV to bring the Lombardi Trophy to St. Louis.
Pace elevated his game even further in 2000, delivering what was arguably the finest single-season performance by an offensive lineman of his era. Anchoring a unit that produced a staggering 7,075 total yards of offense, Pace posted a career-high 22 Approximate Value score from Pro Football Reference. His dominance continued into 2001, earning another First-Team AP All-Pro nod while guiding the Rams back to Super Bowl XXXVI and cementing his reputation as the NFL’s premier left tackle.
For seven consecutive seasons spanning from 1999 through 2005, Pace was an automatic Pro Bowl selection and the undisputed gold standard at his position. While teammates like Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt captured the national spotlight and posted dominant stat lines, Pace’s consistent, selfless effort in the trenches created the time and space for those weapons to flourish week after week.
Even as the Rams transitioned away from their championship core later in the decade, Pace remained the steadying heartbeat of the roster. Over his 12 seasons in St. Louis, he anchored lines for multiple coaching staffs, neutralizing the league's top pass rushers with startling consistency. Across 158 games in blue and gold, he surrendered remarkably few sacks, serving as a trusted leader and veteran mentor in the locker room.
After a brief final season with the Chicago Bears in 2009, Pace retired as one of football’s most decorated linemen. In 2016, he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton as a first-ballot honoree, capping a dominant career protecting the game's most explosive offense.
Kurt Warner’s path to the Rams was unlike almost anyone else’s. He went from Northern Iowa to stocking shelves, then the Arena League and NFL Europe before landing with St. Louis. When starter Trent Green went down in the 1999 preseason, Warner stepped in and never looked back. He became the starter that year and immediately looked comfortable in an offense built on timing, quick decisions, and downfield throws to Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, and Marshall Faulk.
In 1999, he led the NFL in completion percentage and touchdown passes while throwing for 4,353 yards and 41 scores. The Rams went 13-3, and Warner won the MVP. In the playoffs, he kept producing, including a Super Bowl XXXIV performance that set a then-record with 414 passing yards. He threw the game-winning touchdown to Isaac Bruce late in the fourth quarter as the Rams beat Tennessee 23-16. Warner also earned Super Bowl MVP, becoming one of the few players to win both the regular-season and Super Bowl MVP awards in the same year.
He stayed at a high level in 2000 even though the Rams fell short of another Super Bowl run. Warner earned another Pro Bowl selection and again led the league in completion percentage. The offense still scored at a historic rate, and he remained the clear starter despite some turnover issues that season.
The peak came in 2001. Warner led the NFL in completions, completion percentage (for the third straight year), passing yards (4,830), and touchdown passes (36). He won his second MVP as the Rams went 14-2 and returned to the Super Bowl. This time they lost to the Patriots, but Warner’s three-year stretch had established him as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He was an accurate passer with a quick release who thrived in a system that asked him to get the ball out fast and hit receivers in stride.
Injuries limited him the next two seasons. He played only seven games in 2002 and two in 2003 before the Rams released him. His time in St. Louis was relatively short, but the peak production was unmatched.
With the Rams, he threw for 14,447 yards and 102 touchdowns in those six seasons. Those numbers, concentrated in the 1999-2001 window, still rank among the best stretches any quarterback has put together for the franchise.
Warner later took the Arizona Cardinals to their first Super Bowl appearance. The Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted him in 2017, recognition for the quarterback who went from an undrafted long shot to the engine of one of the most explosive offenses the league has ever seen.
Isaac Bruce arrived as a second-round pick out of Memphis in 1994 and spent his first year mostly learning the NFL. The next season he exploded. In 1995, he caught 119 passes for 1,781 yards and 13 touchdowns, a total that still ranks among the highest single-season receiving yards in league history. He somehow missed the Pro Bowl that year, but the production announced him as one of the league’s better young receivers. He followed it in 1996 by leading the NFL with 1,338 yards and earning the first of his four Pro Bowl selections.
Bruce was a precise route-runner who could win at all levels and had the speed to stretch the field. He wasn’t the flashiest player, but he was reliable and tough enough to keep producing even as the Rams figured out what they wanted to be. After a couple of injury-shortened seasons, he was ready when the offense finally clicked.
Everything came together in 1999 when the Rams became the Greatest Show on Turf. Bruce caught 77 passes for 1,165 yards and 12 touchdowns as the offense tore through the league and finished 13-3. In Super Bowl XXXIV, he caught six passes for 162 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown from Kurt Warner late in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-winner. The following year he posted 87 catches for 1,471 yards and nine touchdowns, then added 64 catches for 1,106 yards and six scores in 2001 as the Rams returned to the Super Bowl (this time losing to the Patriots). Those three seasons cemented him as the clear number-one target on one of the most explosive offenses the league has ever seen.
Bruce kept producing after the peak years. He posted more 1,000-yard seasons in 2002, 2004, and 2006, and he remained a steady target even as the roster turned over. He left for a brief stint with the 49ers after the 2007 season, then was traded back to the Rams so he could retire as a Ram in 2010.
With the Rams, he finished with 942 receptions, 14,109 receiving yards, and 84 touchdowns. Those numbers still sit at the top of the franchise’s receiving charts. The Rams retired his number 80 in 2010.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame inducted him in 2020, recognizing the receiver who went from a quiet second-round pick to the leading man of one of the most explosive offenses the league has ever seen.
Steven Jackson is the all-time leading rusher for the Rams, passing no less than Eric Dickerson to do it. A model of consistency, Jackson recorded eight consecutive seasons in which he rushed for over 1,000 Yards, four of which saw him finish in the top ten overall, including a second-place finish in 2009.
2006 was actually a more productive season where the Running Back would finish with 1,528 Rushing Yards and another 806 in the air to give him 2,334 Yards from Scrimmage, the most in the National Football League that season.
With just over 15,000 Yards from Scrimmage over his career, Jackson might be worth a look as a preliminary nominee, but to make the Hall would be difficult despite how many Yards he accumulated.

London Fletcher was a tackling machine who had accumulated over 2,000 Tackles in the National Football League. This is where Fletcher’s best chance for the Hall lies, as he was only a four-time Pro Bowl selection, a number that, right or wrong, does matter. Fletcher, however, does hold a resume with all those tackles, longevity, a Super Bowl Ring with the Rams, and a reputation as a locker room leader and off-field good guy.
For our money, nobody more intriguing was first eligible in 2019, and his overall resume is one of the most interesting on this list. Whether or not he ever receives any PFHOF consideration, the fact that he accomplished so much as an undrafted player from John Carroll will forever be impressive.
Torry Holt's ranking was a challenging task, and it's understandable that opinions may vary on where he should be placed. However, we value your input and would like to hear your thoughts. While Holt's stats may not be better than those of his peers in the Wide Receiver position, he was the most consistent performer in the NFL during the 2000s. Holt played for the Rams for all but one season, catching 920 passes for 13,382 yards. He led the NFL in Receiving Yards twice and was a favorite target of Kurt Warner, the star Quarterback.
He was selected to the Pro Bowl seven times and ranked in the top ten in receiving yards eight times over his eleven-year career. Additionally, Holt was the youngest receiver to reach 10,000 and 11,000 yards, and if he had played for another year or two, his career stats would have been impossible to ignore. We are eager to see what the Football Hall of Fame will do with Torry Holt, especially now that Isaac Bruce has been inducted. It's likely that Holt will soon follow suit, though he has been waiting a while. Holt might be used to that, as he has lived in the shadow of others for years.
