Broncos Legends: Top-5 Wide Receivers of All Time
The Denver Broncos have no wide receivers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but that doesn't mean the team hasn't had some great ones. In fact, there are two who donned the Orange and Blue who should be in Canton.
It's time to answer the question: who are the five greatest receivers in Broncos history?
Here is the list in descending order and the reasons why they have been selected for this illustrious list.
<p class="">5. Ed McCaffery</p>
<p class="">4. Haven Moses</p>
<p class="">3. Demaryius Thomas</p>
<p class="">2. Lionel Taylor</p>
<p class="">1. Rod Smith</p>
Rod Smith played the game with heart, and that helped him to become the greatest receiver in Broncos history. Not only is he the leading receiver in yards, receptions, and receiving touchdowns, but at one point in the early 2000s, he was in the argument for being the best in the NFL.
This was during a time when Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Marvin Harrison, and others were in their prime. Smith also holds the Broncos' single-season record for the most receptions and has the second-most yards in an individual campaign. He's a Hall-of-Fame candidate, and hopefully, he gets his due.
