Since we're talking WR's I think we have a claim to being Wide Receiver University considering the talent that has been drafted into the NFL, stats, and HOF members. I thought I'd list all the best I could find along with their physical stats, NFL stats and some SU records. Ishmael, Philips, and Tawo remain to be developed as they have yet to play an NFL game. It is generally recognized that Marvin Harrison and Peyton Manning are the best receiver – quarterback duo in NFL history. Harrison has many records still standing in the NFL at 36.

[B][U]Steve Ishmael[/U][/B] - 6'2” 209 – COLTS SIGNED FREE AGENT CONTRACT -  set all time record for rec YDS @ SU breaking Harrison's record

[B][U]Ervin Philips[/U][/B] – BUCS SIGNED FREE AGENT CONTRACT 5'11” 181, only SU WR with 200 REC YDS and 500 RUSH YDS

[B][U]David Tyree[/U][/B] – GIANTS – 6' 206 Blue Chip AA as a HS senior, in NFL 6 YRS. Known for two plays in Super Bowl XLII, touchdown catch and the infamous, iconic “Helmet Catch.” Giants went on to win over the Patriots, ( I love to say that ). He is currently Director of Player Development for the Giants

[B][U]Kevin Johnson[/U][/B] – BROWNS,  5” 11”, 195, in NFL 8 YRS, 384 REC - 4,595 YDS, 25 TDS
