2023 Pre-Season #77, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #77, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #71, Last Year’s Rank #62.  Peak Period: 2014-16/18-19.

OBJ’s three Pro Bowls were in his first three seasons, and while his last Pro Bowl was in 2016, Beckham Jr. did have 1,000-yard-plus campaigns in 2018 and 2019.  Since then, injuries have piled up, and he was not the same guy who made the most incredible regular season catch in history.  2021 was the agony and ecstasy for Beckham Jr, who seemed rejuvenated in a mid-season pickup by the Rams, where he helped them win the Super Bowl, though, in that game, he scored a Touchdown and tore his ACL.  

After sitting out the 2022 season to rehab, Beckham Jr. played a year in Baltimore with a respectable 565 Yards, and now he joins the potent Miami offense.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #20, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #28, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #30, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #44.  Peak Period: 2015-19

From 2017 to 2019, Hopkins was regarded as the best Wide Receiver in the game and will be honored by the Houston Texans one day.  As for now, the veteran is entering his. second season in Tennessee, the first of which saw Hopkins eclipse 1,000 Yards for the first time since 2020. 

Assuming that Julio Jones does not return this year, Hopkins enters 2024 as the league’s active leader in Receiving Yards (12,355), and if he stays healthy, there are many rungs he can climb in the all-time rank.  690 Yards this season places him in the top 20 all-time, and a top ten slot is not out of the question (he needs 1,991 Yards to overtake Reggie Wayne for 10^th).

2023 Pre-Season Rank #36, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #47, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #53, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #55. Peak Period: 2016-20

Ezekiel Elliott returns to the Dallas Cowboys, where he belongs, although he is years away from his peak.  The 2016 Consensus Rookie of the Year was an incredible performer in his first four seasons, as he was the Rushing Champion as a rookie in 2018.  The Running Back could not obtain another Pro Bowl after 2019 and is in a depth category.

This does not mean he can’t compile numbers, but Zeke is no longer the top dog. If he maintains a career even as a lower-tier running back, he could sneak into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

2023 Pre-Season Rank: #65, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #69, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #85, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #88.  Peak Period: 2015-19

Carr was a Pro Bowl Selection for three straight years (2015-17), and while he has had four 4,000-yard seasons, other Quarterbacks have passed him in the hierarchy of greatness at the position.  Carr is running out of time to make any real Hall of Fame push, and realistically, it will take a Super Bowl Championship for that to occur.

He is entering his second year in New Orleans and should break 40,000 Passing Yards and 250 Touchdowns.  Those are quality numbers, but not Hall of Fame ones.
