From Reddit: Who are the best 5 receivers in your schools history?

Link to Reddit thread

As per traditional offseason postings, opinion based posts like this one always catch my eye. I commented with this:

  1. Antonio Freeman
  2. Bryan Still
  3. Andre Davis
  4. Isaiah Ford
  5. Ernest Wilford

Most of the responses to me have agreed with 4 of the 5, but would instead replace Bryan Still with Eddie Royal. My argument is that while both had similar yardage totals in their upperclassman years and were big time playmakers in the return game, Still had a higher yards per catch (18 vs 14) and I cant undersell the impact he had on the university, shining his brightest on the biggest stage to help put us on the map in the '95 Sugar Bowl

So TKP, who are your top 5 receivers? Why did you leave X out in favor of Y (pun intended). I find this particular position interesting to discuss because like many teams, VT was a run based offense for the longest time.

As an aside, if this gains traction perhaps we can do top 5 for each position in future posts. I believe we've done top 5 QB's before but I couldnt find posts for lineman, kickers, etc

I found TKP after two rails from TOTS then walking back to my apartment and re-watching the 2012 Sugar Bowl. I woke up the next day with this username.

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"
