24. Drew Hill

Drew Hill played his first six seasons (one on the injured list) for the Los Angeles Rams, but they were nothing special, and none of which saw him crack 20 Receptions.  This changed when he joined the Oilers in 1985.

At age 28, Hill had his first four-digit Receiving Yard season (1,168).  It would be easy to see this is a fluke, but Hill proved to be a worthy staring Wide Receiver, cracking 1,000 Yards four more times and becoming the first man to break that mark four times after 30.  Hill was a two-time Pro Bowl Selection (1988 & 1990) and amassed 7,477 Yards for Houston, a number that nobody would have projected when he joined the team.
