Top Five Denver Bronco WRs of all Time

[Mingo]

Mason's top five Broncos wide receivers


I have seen them all and my biggest quibble with this list is Haven Mosses - who had some great years as a Bronco - but I'd rank Eddie McCaffrey and Steve Watson ahead of Mosses. Not to knock Mosses, but Watson and Eddie Mac had longer Bronco careers with more big plays. Mosses was a Buffalo Bill for 6 years - and a Bronco for about 8.

I'm guessing he rounds out this list with Rod Smith.

1. Rod Smith
2. Rodney Smith
3. Mr. Smith
4. Mr. Rod Smith
5. Mr. Rodney Smith

Passion, heart, commitment, dedication, hard work and accountability. No WR in a Broncos uniform has ever represented this organization better.

I know that on any list I would make, the criteria for Top WR would include things that made the team better, made the offense more effective, dedication and desire to bettering you own game and the team around you ..

That block Eddie Mac made in the Super Bowl vs the Packers - the one that sprung Howard Griffith and lead to Terrell Davis' game winning TD - is a perfect example of what a great WR will do .. On the biggest stage possible ..

It's a travesty that Eddie Mac would not make a Top 5 Bronco WR list

I'm not a history major - plus I'm awfully young - when will DT pass Taylor? I figured he already had...

Is it wrong to count Champ Bailey with his 1 career reception for 11 yards?

Don't forget Rick Upchurch boys0+

I could see Manny making this list if we could hold onto him for another contract.

In passes caught in a single season yes. In total yardage - DT is still 200 yards short of Lionel Taylor's career totals.

I wouldn't put Upchurch in the top 5. He was good, but Denver has had more prolific receivers in its history.

 

[Mingo]

Upchurch might be higher on a list of all time players than he would be with his standing just as a WR. He was easily the best, longest lasting and most consistent return man in Bronco history.

This was definitely his strong suit. Would definitely be higher in the Special Teams list.
