Love these videos, just wish they’d find highlights relating to the skill Brett is talking about. Kinda weird to hear him talk about Hines Ward blocking like a monster while we watch him catch touchdowns
@@PizzaHutCEOnope not just you. The editing in general on this video was not top notch. Sounds like Brett did 2 takes on that sentence about AJ green and the editor (most likely not Brett) left them both in on accident. Along with the poorly chosen highlights, these videos could be so much better! Still love them and the idea behind them
The Antonio Brown erasure is crazy. He did lose his senses at the end but Tony Toe Tap’s body control and route running were the reason he dominated for half a decade.
Low key he was elite at tracking where a ball was going on a deep pass and highpointing at the last second. He got a lot of 50/50 balls bc ben trusted him
AB is not a politically correct answer so he’s has to choose someone else lol we all know AB is the KING of toe tap & route running his body control was insane
3:23 the Moss mid-route acceleration is nuts. That is older Moss too but he just explodes through that zone like a bolt of lightening. It almost looks like the editing speeds up lol
I have never seen someone shiftier and smoother than prime Antonio Brown. The guy looked like a human joystick. He could make a full 90 degree cut on a route and it looked like he never broke stride.
Todays route runners are a pure demons. Adams, Diggs, Chase, Keenan, etc, we have mutiple what I like to call 3 Dimensional route runners. They can run routes all 3 levels without much difficulty.
Brandon Lloyd deserves an honorable mention for body control. He was never consistent enough to be a great WR, but holy crap does he have some of the best highlight reel catches of all time. If you've never even heard of him, do yourself a favor and look him up .Unfortunately most of the footage is pretty grainy, despite him playing within the last 20 years, but it's so worth your time
@@jamescooper3324 I wouldn't call him underrated considering had a total of 6k yards and 36 TD's in 10 years. He had 1 great season, a few average/good seasons and the rest were bad or non-existent. He either struggled with injuries, bad QB play, or concentration issues through most of his career - but when he was on, his catches were spectacular
@@illimitabilitiesunderrated fs, nobody hardly ever talked about how wild his athleticism and hands were when he was playing, rarely see people ever bring him up now. I think there’s one video on him outside of really old highlights of his circus catches
@@illimitabilities underrated doesn’t really correlate to his production. Like you said, when he was on, he was on. The part where he’s underrated is nobody talks about him and they should. Dude was a damn good football player
AB not making it over Percy Harvin & Stevie Johnson is wild like I love both of their games but AB was a generational talent and was way more consistent during his career
AB is a better route runner than Stevie Johnson and he's just as explosive as Harvin ever was. Harvin didn't produce much outside his vikings tenure.@@juliuscaesar1388
I think generational talent is a reach. He was really good, but he wasn't there with a lot of guys he played against. I'd say he's basically if Hill acted like TO. If he doesn't get his lobotomized by berfict maybe he gets there. But he was just a really good receiver over a decent amount of time who fell off at the end because of injuries. I would have a hard time putting his total body of work above Diggs tbh, and I don't know anyone calling him a generational talent...
He's saying Stevie Johnson is a better route runner than let me see, Marvin Harrison, Antonio Brown, Reggie Wayne, ochocinco, and im sure I'm missing some other guys who were great route runners in the 2000's
I was here to say this.. Off the bat this could use a few more categories.. Like you said jumping or high pointing.. and ball skills... Plus YAC.. Strength or power.. Intelligence.. A very under rated skill.. Just knowing where you need to be at all times agaisnt all coverages and zones.. That's the only thing that held back (relative) Mike Evans from being an even better wr, especially with Brady.. He would be in the wrong place or not recognize the same things the qb did pre snap or immediately after snap.. To know where to break off a route or to sit in zones.. He had huge issues with that imo.. You could also call it game or field awareness.. . But anyway I regress lol I also think there should be more than one category for catching.. Spectacular and possession at the least although you could probably put Fitz there for both haha
Ed Reed was the best free safety but he could not make the plays Troy could at the LOS. Troy made plays that still to this day I have never seen another strong safety make.
@@Baker19911 you’re fucking insane. He’s 1.5 inches shorter and he’s quick as hell. Also no one had hands like Larry besides maybe dhop and jerry. So hands I can maybe give you but that’s it
@kaws3076 Julio was 6’3 also close to a 40 inch vert and ran a 4.3. He also had crazy hands with amazing control. He may have not beat the other guys in that one stat but all around Julio is up there in almost all the categories
We literally cannot stress enough how much we not only love these Brett videos (hence the flood of comments on every collab) but how excited we are that other creators might also get this opportunity soon (flemlo, Tom Grossi already did kinda, etc)
Stevie Johnson come on now he was a good route runner but barely put up any number. Marvin Harrison was one of the best route runners of all times and has numbers to back it
People might give you grief for AJ Green, but as a Baltimore fan let me tell you the man was outrageous. Felt like divine intervention that the ball was just made to get into Green's hands...
Chad OchoCinco Johnson should have been your quickness or route running honestly... I mean he told defenders what he was gonna run and still caught it on them.
Stevie johnson route running over Antonio brown or davante adams might be the worst take I have ever seen. Somehow while building a "perfect" WR using players since 2000 you don't take any trait from a guy that was the best WR for 4-5 years
Absolutely agree Stevie Johnson of all people no way his route running is better than Jerry, TO , Steve Smith , Antonio Brown hell even Amari Cooper route running is better than Stevie Johnson
Julio is like 80% of every category, I have a hard time saying he's the best at any of these. Stevie got the pick for "he changed the game" which is w.e But Julio wasn't the best at anything he was just really REALLY good at everything. Like the only place Fitz would fit is hands, otherwise he wasn't great at any of the others but he wasn't bad by any stretch. the one that got me was Welker. When you have Brady and Manning saying he's the greatest route runner they've ever seen...hard to argue. and Hill could have taken Percy's spot, but hey it's his list and his opinion so what can you do.
Receiver has evolved so much over the years, stuff like route running is being taught at a younger age than it used to be. Also probably hundreds of thousands of hours of film you can study is readily available on the internet so you can learn how to run routes like the best. So naturally guys even that retired in 2006, only 16-17 years ago aren’t as refined as guys in the league in now or even in the mid 2010s.
Schuab was not a noodle arm, albeit he didn’t have the strongest arm in the league during his years with the Texans. Johnson put up back to back 1500+ seasons in 08/09, then added another one in the 12 season. WTF are you talking about, no one got him the ball?
I think that’s his point… Andre was solid despite the lack of talent at the QB position… (everyone mentioned had a better QB. imagine what we could have done in their place.
Julio jones had better body control then aj in my opinion. Lowkey i feell like julio was the closest to this "perfect WR" build. i miss watching prime julio play 😢
If I had to build my own (and wasn't allowed to use recievers Brett did) I would go -Size: Kelvin Benjamin -Long Speed: Tyreek Hill -Quickness: Dante Hall -Hands: Cris Carter (yes he played in the 2000's he counts) -Body Control: Deandre Hopkins -Route Running: Antonio Brown -Blocking: Steve Smith
I dunno, Marvin Harrison and Chad Johnson could've easily been there for either Catching, Body Control, or Route Running in my books. Those dudes were SMOOTH. Chad's release was deadly.
Love the respect for Larry Fitz! That man's hands were absolutely unreal. If you watch his tape, you see him making the most spectacular catches on the regular
@@yezzir8929 I agree. He also had underated body control and tracking of the ball. He and Peyton would have been done well on their own but were really a perfect combo. Peyton wanted correct routes and wideouts to have expectation of where the ball would be and to adapt if neccessary. Harrison was the perfect WR for that. He also was a great example of a NFL player not just playing hard but putting in ridiculous work. He wasn't on Jerry Rices level obviously but his preparation, professionalism, and route running were close if not possibly on par.
Two more categories: Feel - Anquan Bolden Toughness/Tenacity - Steve Smith Anquan was practically telepathic. He just knew when to sit, when to break off routes, where to settle, how to create leverage. Uncanny. The guy ran 4.7 but was always open. Steve is self explanatory. It’s impossible not to love Steve Smith. Everything you could ever want in a football player
I love these videos, but I wish the highlights corresponded to what was being talked about, ie talking about AJ Green’s body control but not really showing any catches that demonstrated that
The list should have been Calvin Johnson’s size, Randy Moss’s speed, Antonio Brown’s route running, Julio Jones’s Body Control, Larry Fitzgeralds Hands, and Hines Ward’s blocking ability.
@@that408Jerry had 2 hall of fame QBs throwing to him majority of his career. Larry had a whole carousel of no names, decent and sometimes good QBs throwing it to him all of his career and STILL nearly surpassed Rice. If he had the same type of QBs that rice had the majority of his career, he'd surpass Rice in a nanosecond. Trust me.
Absolutely loved the vid! Would've really liked to see more clips that corresponded directly what Brett was talking about tho - some Hines Ward blocks would be really cool to see.
Brett, what in the hell is this video? You repeated an entire paragraph about AJ Green in the mid 2010s and "especially against Baltimore". Then chose Stevie "Why would God let me drop this td" Johnson? "Ideal route runner"?! Does Antonio Brown not exist in this universe anymore? Hell, even Andre Johnson or Steve Smith? Just disapointing for someone usually with sound judgment. Big miss in this one.
@@michaelmeyers4950almost? The Vikings receiving corps in the last 30 years consists of Randy Moss, Chris Carter, Justin Jefferson, Stefan Diggs, Adam Theilen, Percy Harvin, and Sydney Rice. That’s untouchable.
@@evanstensland611 - Now you're really reaching bro. If you count JuJu, AB and LeVeon Bell as receivers, Hines Ward,.... I'm not taking anything away from Justin but if you let people decide between Michael Thomas and Justif Jefferson MT gon' walk away with 50+ I'm sure. I'm putting the Vikes second to the Steelers. The call stands.
First, I love the concept and execution of this video. There is no "right" answer here - okay, maybe Megatron and Moss - but the others are rightfully debated. My $0.02: Doug Baldwin as the best route runner of the last twenty years. Without blazing speed, he still would create YARDS of separation through such precise routes and absurdly quick feet. Truly underrated receiver, IMO.
Brett showing off his Anti-Colts bias yet again. Man references Marvin Harrison Jr when talking about AJ Green and doesn't talk about his dad who had *way* better body control than AJ could ever dream of. This also applies to the zero mentions of Reggie Wayne for basically any of the traits he was exceptional at as well. But a Texans fan is going to Texan, so I'm not surprised.
Prime Randy Moss is the PERFECT WR and basically has everything in abundance: Better hands than Fitzgerald. Better body control than AJ Green. GOAT WR 🐐
@@Inbound66 Bud Moss ran 4.25 40 in colleg, which is a faster for than Hill. Beyond that its obvious on young Moss highlights. You cannot find me a highlight of Hill where he covers ground as fast as Moss does here for example: th-cam.com/video/u_k7-y6PGpU/w-d-xo.htmlm2s
@@patrickr2691 40 yard dash don’t mean nothing in terms of speed. A track field dose. 100m is the best option for speed. Tyreek high school he ran a faster time then moss. Hill 100m time was 10.19 in jr Olympics. Moss 100m was 10.79m and even if you want to count the 40 yard dash, Tyreek hill was click at 4.21 and in his high school ran a 4.25. Now image how fast he is right now.
idc what anyone says Ab who imo greatest wr since calvin johnson. Was 1000% snubbed off this list. Route running Ab, Body control arguably ab, id even make a argument for hands even though Fitz was amazing.
The video editor should do a better job of getting the clips to match the content. The clips just seemed to be showing how great these players were in general but it would have complemented Brett's commentary far better if they focused on examples of the skills being discussed. Still a great video but future videos in the series would benefit from more focus in my opinion.
I think Julio also deserves a shout out for body control, especially after the Super Bowl catch.
Antonio Brown body control was really good too
Yeah for sure
his blocking was elite too
Also his speed and run after catch abilities (he had insane rac ability for a 6’3 200 plus wideout).
Julio might be the best overall wide receiver ever when it comes down to Strengths like size speed hands route running ect
Love these videos, just wish they’d find highlights relating to the skill Brett is talking about. Kinda weird to hear him talk about Hines Ward blocking like a monster while we watch him catch touchdowns
I found that really odd as well lol

It's different takes, not the exact same twice
@@jeffpollard6955no it’s basically the same thing twice
For a second I thought I accidentally backed up the video but then I saw that the clips were from a different game altogether.

Also when displaying some of 'recieving' stats of players. Overall, gotta tighten production value up.
3:23 the Moss mid-route acceleration is nuts. That is older Moss too but he just explodes through that zone like a bolt of lightening. It almost looks like the editing speeds up lol
Well it was slowed down midplay. Crazy speed, but also the video resumes normal speed after the slomo
I have never seen someone shiftier and smoother than prime Antonio Brown. The guy looked like a human joystick. He could make a full 90 degree cut on a route and it looked like he never broke stride.
I'd give route running to Davante Adams...... he don't even use his hands and still gets a clean break
Everytime. Him and ab are beast mode at just using their feet.
Todays route runners are a pure demons. Adams, Diggs, Chase, Keenan, etc, we have mutiple what I like to call 3 Dimensional route runners. They can run routes all 3 levels without much difficulty.

Unless your name is Jerry Rice.
Dang right!
@@that408Jerry had 2 hall of fame QBs throwing to him majority of his career. Larry had a whole carousel of no names, decent and sometimes good QBs throwing it to him all of his career and STILL nearly surpassed Rice. If he had the same type of QBs that rice had the majority of his career, he'd surpass Rice in a nanosecond. Trust me.
Sterling Sharpe?
@@that408fitz literally got more tackles in his career than dropped passes 😂
Tbh kinda surprised Tyreek didn’t get quickness, that dude is electric
Yea he was his quickness was different than Percys
Absolutely loved the vid! Would've really liked to see more clips that corresponded directly what Brett was talking about tho - some Hines Ward blocks would be really cool to see.
Brett, what in the hell is this video? You repeated an entire paragraph about AJ Green in the mid 2010s and "especially against Baltimore". Then chose Stevie "Why would God let me drop this td" Johnson? "Ideal route runner"?! Does Antonio Brown not exist in this universe anymore? Hell, even Andre Johnson or Steve Smith?
Just disapointing for someone usually with sound judgment. Big miss in this one.
Or the total non-mention of Terrel Owens?
no AB?
Body Control: Julio
Route Running: AB
Quickness: DeSean
Honorable mentions: TO, Chad Johnson, D. Hopkins, Andre Johnson, Julio Jones, Antonio Bryant, and Reggie Wayne
Jerry Rice
This made me appreciate the vikings’ ability to choose & recruit WRs even more
Almost as good as the Steelers tbh.
@@michaelmeyers4950almost? The Vikings receiving corps in the last 30 years consists of Randy Moss, Chris Carter, Justin Jefferson, Stefan Diggs, Adam Theilen, Percy Harvin, and Sydney Rice. That’s untouchable.
@@evanstensland611 - Now you're really reaching bro.
If you count JuJu, AB and LeVeon Bell as receivers, Hines Ward,.... I'm not taking anything away from Justin but if you let people decide between Michael Thomas and Justif Jefferson MT gon' walk away with 50+ I'm sure.
I'm putting the Vikes second to the Steelers. The call stands.
@@michaelmeyers4950 wow
George Pickens might end up on some of these categories some day. His hands are amazing
I agree with half. Woulda put Antonio Brown in body control, Devante Adams route running and Tyreek in quickness
I like how the comments are discussing all the other options for various factors except size and long speed because you can't argue with the picks.
More career tackles than career drops as the primary WR is straight up insane. S/O to Fitz
First, I love the concept and execution of this video. There is no "right" answer here - okay, maybe Megatron and Moss - but the others are rightfully debated. My $0.02: Doug Baldwin as the best route runner of the last twenty years. Without blazing speed, he still would create YARDS of separation through such precise routes and absurdly quick feet. Truly underrated receiver, IMO.
Brett must be smoking crack with Hunter Biden, route runner should of gone to AB or Marvin, Stevie wasn’t anything special
😂
Brett showing off his Anti-Colts bias yet again. Man references Marvin Harrison Jr when talking about AJ Green and doesn't talk about his dad who had *way* better body control than AJ could ever dream of. This also applies to the zero mentions of Reggie Wayne for basically any of the traits he was exceptional at as well.
But a Texans fan is going to Texan, so I'm not surprised.
Stevie Johnson was such an underrated player.
Too bad they used the wrong picture of him lol
Prime Randy Moss is the PERFECT WR and basically has everything in abundance:
Better hands than Fitzgerald.
Better body control than AJ Green.
GOAT WR 🐐
Id take Tyreek Hill for speed
Prime Moss was faster and more sudden with straight line, decisively too.
@@patrickr2691Tyreek wayyy faster. Moss was not a world class sprinter like Tyreek hill in high school
@@Inbound66 Bud Moss ran 4.25 40 in colleg, which is a faster for than Hill. Beyond that its obvious on young Moss highlights. You cannot find me a highlight of Hill where he covers ground as fast as Moss does here for example: th-cam.com/video/u_k7-y6PGpU/w-d-xo.htmlm2s
@@patrickr2691 40 yard dash don’t mean nothing in terms of speed. A track field dose. 100m is the best option for speed. Tyreek high school he ran a faster time then moss. Hill 100m time was 10.19 in jr Olympics. Moss 100m was 10.79m and even if you want to count the 40 yard dash, Tyreek hill was click at 4.21 and in his high school ran a 4.25. Now image how fast he is right now.
@@Inbound66 They're not running on a track, they're running on a field with full pads on. Moss is faster, its pretty obvious
idc what anyone says Ab who imo greatest wr since calvin johnson. Was 1000% snubbed off this list. Route running Ab, Body control arguably ab, id even make a argument for hands even though Fitz was amazing.
Julio def shoulda been the body control guy IMO, but I can respect the AJ pick…but Stevie Johnson??? Over Ocho? And AB?
The video editor should do a better job of getting the clips to match the content. The clips just seemed to be showing how great these players were in general but it would have complemented Brett's commentary far better if they focused on examples of the skills being discussed. Still a great video but future videos in the series would benefit from more focus in my opinion.
The match made me unable to take my eyes off
Says Hines Ward is the best blocking receiver. Shows zero highlights of Hines Ward blocking anyone.
This Stevie Johnson take I’m not feeling even though he was good. In the last 20 years we’ve had better route runners by far
🤔🤔🤔🤔no Jerry Rice no Terrell Owens no Steve Smith
Back to the drawing board
Mike Williams should have been picked for body control🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
The most perfect WR (blend of all these attributes)in NFL history was Randy Moss
There was virtually nothing for me to argue with in the RB video, but this one definitely raised a few eyebrows 🤨
Building the perfect WR would be simply building Moss, Owens, or Rice.
Randy Moss for Verticle as well
