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.
