6. Steve Largent
Largent is the subject of perhaps one of the most underrated rags to riches stories in NFL history. The Houston Oilers nearly cut him soon after taking him in the 4th round of the draft. Instead, they traded him to the Seahawks for an 8th-round pick. From there, Largent went on to make seven Pro Bowls in 14 seasons and be named to the 1980s All-Decade Team.
At 5’11’’ and 187 lbs., Largent wasn’t particularly big, nor was he particularly fast. However, he earned the nickname Yoda from his teammates for his ability to catch anything that was thrown in his direction. His hands were pure gold and the biggest reason for his Hall of Fame career. He was the first receiver to reach the 100-touchdown mark. When he retired after 14 seasons, Largent had an active streak of 177 straight games with at least one reception. At the time, he was also the all-time leader in receptions, receiving touchdowns, and receiving yards.
