Best WRs in SEC history

[Windsortide]

I would make the argument that DeVonta Smith is the greatest receiver in college football history. Heisman and Belitnikoff Trophy winner, multiple national titles that he played a huge part in, fantastic career stats and not just in one year, and multiple huge plays over his career. There is no other receiver that checks all those boxes. Larry Fitzgerald might be the most physically gifted and statistically impressive college receiver of all time, but he didn't have the hardware (Heisman and titles) or the moments that Smith had.

I can agree with that.

Not SEC, but Calvin Johnson was a freak in college.

Not to mention he had 3 tds and over 200 yards in the NC. In one half. It was a unreal performance that night.

Probably the most gifted WR of all time

Also not Sec, but Larry Fitzgerald was a great college and pro receiver, one of my favorites, never heard anything about him, just done his job

He stays healthy and we are in solid shape to have another natty in hand. He honestly looked like he was on another speed setting when the ball was in his hands. Guy could absolutely fly. I agree, I want to see 4-6 guys on OSU's team that was better...

This is not a knock on Jameson Williams at all, but those players ahead of him were Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxson Smith-Njigba, and Marvin Harrrison, Jr. 4 of the best 25 receivers in the NFL right now.

Ryan Williams will be on this list before it's said and done

Assuming we hold onto him

If only Calvin had a real QB in college…

2006 Georgia Tech Yellowjackets team stats

He had 1202 receiving yards from a QB completing 44.4% of his passes.

I don't know why we wouldn't. We don't lose stars to the portal, and we've really only ever lost like 1 starter to the portal except when we lost our coach, but that's an extenuating circumstance, and probably the only way it would happen.

All indications are that RW loves Alabama. He was big on keeping the class together and I think it would take a lot more than NIL, QB drama, or some bad losses to change that.

Jordan Matthew’s has to be pretty high up on this list as well. Guy has 262 receptions, 3759 yards, and 24 TDs at Vandy .

I included him as an honorable mention but he got the Vandy discount
