The choice at number 19 is almost impossible. It comes down to Harrison, one of the best wide receivers of all time, and Randall McDaniel, one of the best offensive linemen of all time. But the edge goes to Harrison, in part because he out-performed a draft class loaded with wide receivers. Among the likes of Keyshawn Johnson, Terrell Owens, Joe Horn, Terry Glenn, Amani Toomer, and other, Harrison was the best.

Few receivers in the game’s history played with such class and grace while being so dominant at the same time. He still holds the NFL record for receptions in a single season, and that’s just one of over two dozen NFL records that Harrison shares or holds.
