25. Steve Smith Sr.

Steve Smith is considered one of the most talented offensive players in the history of the Carolina Panthers. In seven seasons as a Panther, he managed to achieve over 1,000 yards in Receiving Yards. Smith's best season was in 2005, when he won the Wide Receiver's "Triple Crown" by leading the NFL in Receptions, Receiving Yards, and Receiving Touchdowns.

Smith was a dynamic receiver with a fearless approach to route-running. He was not afraid to take on anyone, using his lightning speed to beat defenders and gain serious yards after a catch on underneath routes.

After finishing his pro career with three seasons as a Baltimore Raven, Smith accrued another 1,000-yard season. Statistically, he should get serious consideration, having finished his career 7th in All-Purpose Yards and Receiving Yards. Additionally, his five Pro Bowls and two First Team All-Pro Selections are impressive accolades.

112. Robert Mathis

A member of the 100 Sack club, Robert Mathis proved time and time over his career that he was a certified beast on the pass rush. 

Percy Harvin

Percy Harvin was a two time BCS Champion at the University of Florida where he was considered the team’s offensive spark.  The Minnesota Vikings would draft Harvin in the First Round, where his rookie year was his best year in the NFL earning Pro Bowl honors and was consider a bona fide dual threat as a receiver and returner.  He never had a season that good again, but still had a respectable 353 Receptions with three seasons in the top ten in All-Purpose Yards.

Pat McAfee

Generally fans don’t wear the jersey of Punters but Pat McAfee of the Indianapolis Colt was such a character that he bucked the trend and actually made a few residuals off his last name on fans backs.
