30 Haywood Jeffires

Haywood Jeffires was a First Round Pick (20th Overall in 1987), but injuries and the depth chart held him to only nine Games with 138 Yards in his first two seasons.  That changed in his third year.

The Wide Receiver from North Carolina State had 47 Receptions with 619 Yards that year, and he became a top target for Warren Moon afterward, hitting at least 1,000 Yards the next two seasons.  In 1991, Jeffires led the NFL in Receptions (100) and was a First Team All-Pro with a Pro Bowl Selection.  He would go to the Pro Bowl the next two years, remaining a top wide out for the Oilers, completing seven straight years with at least 600 Yards.

Jeffires signed with New Orleans in 1996 but only played one more year before he retired.  With the Oilers, Jeffires totaled 6,119 Yards with 47 Touchdowns.
