Wide Receivers: Isaac Bruce (2020), Andre Johnson (2024, Calvin Johnson (2021), Randy Moss (2018), Terrell Owens (2018).

Has the Wide Receiver position not been the most backlogged offensive position for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for decades?  This will only get harder with the increased receiving numbers we have seen over the past ten years, and we will see barring significant rule changes.

Here are the statistics that we are using based on the last group of Wide Receivers to enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame:

  • Games Played: 197.4
  • Approximate Value: 143.8
  • Approximate Value per Games Played: 0.7285
  • Games Started: 182.4
  • Approximate Value per Games Started: 0.7475
  • Approximate Value per Five-Year Peak: 66
  • Approximate Value’s Best Five Results: 71.8
  • MVP Top Five Finishes* **: 0.6
