#1 Marvin Harrison | Top 10 Wide Receivers of the 2000s | NFL Films 

by far

Steve Smith is up there

Is he I mean he’s ranked 1 on this list

Ppl knock on him because he had arguably the best QB ever throwing to him his whole career.

Antonio Brown was what Marvin Harrison was, only difference was Marvin was quiet & didn’t do interviews

The Colt way

@@idontcare2851 lol not our boy Darius leonard lol, he's loud af

@@setalight7290 he’s the maniac for a reason

Also shot people, attacked people with bats, and hung out in the slummiest parts of town. Probably the biggest walking paradox I've ever seen, it would be like if Art Monk or Barry Sanders was doing that. I liked the guy as a player, loved him actually. But his personal life compared to his football life is just bizarre as hell.

@@logicaldude3611 He’s from Philadelphia, it’s not all sunshine and rainbows out there. He owns businesses throughout the city. Don’t make it seem like he shot and attacked people for pleasure. Come on with these narratives.

Nope....

Tim Duncan was great in the playoffs. Harrison not so much.

No. Duncan was the unanimous #1 Power Forward in the league. Not many people chose Kevin Garnett or Chris Webber over him. There is no way in hell Harrison is better than Randy Moss and Terell Owens.

@@akarshshekhar5233 The numbers and avgs speak for themselves. If you watched the actual video you would understand why they chose him as #1.

@@_Webbie_ then why isn't he higher in career statistics than either TO or Moss

A supersized version of him. Scary times coming

CANT WAIT . HE IS FASTER AND TALLER THAN HIS DAD. AND DAD TATE HIM ALL THE ROUTES.

It’s only right that Harrison Jr becomes a colt. It just makes sense lol

@@jasonjones1336 the bears are planning on drafting him. He’ll be close to Indiana at least!

​@@llcooltoys4447 bears drafting Caleb

And Fitz isn't playing gangster off the field, either. Harrison is a weird paradox.

@@logicaldude3611 bro y ru hating on marv

@@logicaldude3611 Here you go virtue signaling. Who tf cares what he did off the field. You act like you’re the perfect citizen outside of work.

@@stanleyfontaine25 it’s called a racism. Peep the game

Bess Snow helps to have Peyton throwing you the ball

@@thewind6047 stop whining. Moss and TO had 3 HOF quarterbacks throwing to them. Not to mention a borderline HOF Donovan McNabb. The reason why it isn't them is due to their mentality. I lie to you not when I say a whiny WR is a QB's worst nightmare, especially when they are talented. They'll always demand the ball......even when they are triple covered. Marv is the blueprint for everything you would want in a wide reciever. Has good speed, great hands, best route runner of all time (not even a question), and knew how to get on the same page with Peyton Manning and find holes in the defense.

Most importantly, he never let his ego get the best of him.

@@thefateofslate9095 we saw what happened when Moss had a HOF QB. Best easily.

That’s why he has zero rings lmao

lol assassin

Only helps if u have a star qb

@@conquistadorito Yep

@@hexagonoctogon3140 pure bs. You still need to break free, run routes and catch the ball, how many hall of fame Receivers did Dan Marino have?, or Brett Favre? What about Warren Moon?, Joe Montanta won two superbowls before Jerry Rice which of the guys were all-pro or hall of fame material

He was good but not the best by far not even close

@@josephgarza934 First off, yes, when it comes to route running, Marvin Harrison was unmatched. Every corner that went up against him said the same thing. The first 10 yards of every route he ran looked exactly the same and they had no idea what route he was going to run. He also had some of the sickest double moves that had corners biting hard and left them in the dust. Second, the best corners of the era Harrison played in all said the same thing, he was the hardest receiver to defend against. Players like Champ Bailey and Charles Woodson who went up against receivers like Moss and TO both said that Harrison was the most difficult to guard against. Marvin was the best of his era and the best CBs in the game backed it up with their testimonials

Robert Ito moss is #1 & It really isn’t even close

@@Tantumx3 Charles woodson and champ bailey say its harrison

@Bryson Johnston chad johnson is on nobodies best anything list

Wasn’t he some mob boss off the field

@@Fattyshakmob boss 😂?

Ok buddy

@@Whyyouonmypagekid Shut up, say something worthwhile…loser.

And one of the most consistent.. dude was a boss especially with Peyton as his qb.. quit hatin 😂

Ok buddy @@Whyyouonmypagekid

True, but he's still not top 5 all time. Rice, Moss, Calvin, TO, AB, and Sharp are all better.

Michael thomas

And Michael Thomas just broke that record . Crazy.

@@joejones1991 Doing it in 2002 holds more value than doing it in 2019. Marvin played in the big boy era

Ravens Nation honestly they force feed Michael Thomas constantly but he’s still great

Even with 143 catches Jerry Rice best season he still had more receiving yards and more TD’s than Marvin’s best season.

King Of Texas Jerry Rice is better

@@Jambuc829 I know that

Because T.O. And moss were better

@@hassanhaulcy 🤔

Hassan Haulcy no they were not. Look up Charles Woodson and champ bailey, two of the best DBs who went up against all 3. Marv was there toughest to guard

Unfortunately, too many people prefer 1 flashy play over 5 consistently good ones.

jdubz170ify moss played a few seasons more than marvin, and marvin averaged 102 catches and 1000+ yards and 10+ tds so if you take into account the more time randy played and if marvin played the same time marvin would destroy randy in the stats, its all about class and consistency and thats what part of the nfl fanbase doesn't understand.

ChrisplayzMC foh. Think about if randy played with Peyton... you saw what an old moss did with Brady

Those stats were from 2000 -2009, so equal years for both. Moss beats out Harrison despite having a shit year in Oakland during that time frame.

harrison also had to split receptions with Clark AND Wayne, so fuck outta here bitch boy. Moss played most of his career as the ONLY guy catching the ball besides an aging Chris carter.

Mike Oxlong Having Clark and Wayne guaranteed single coverage for Harrison. He didn't get doubled like Moss did and no one ever went into a Cover 2 or Cover 3 for him.

Fatz! The he, Fitzgerald and chris Carter have the best hands ever for a WR.

Always got shut down

Which is part of the reason we drafted Addai to help counter the pass defense. Luckily it worked out and we got one at least :)

Jay Thompson Moss had a shitty QB in his prime

Peyton Wasnt the best in the playoffs either

Still better then no rings in a whole career.

lol sad how he is a head of moss and t.o. tho.

He shouldn't be number 1, period.

Billy Bob And Randy Moss helped Brady go to 18-1.

not really. peyton had many different wr cores since Marvin retired and his numbers only got better.

Peyton made him lol

peyton manning made so many receivers look good it's not even funny. Brady was thought to have a good deep ball when he played with moss, now he can't hit anybody past 15 yards

max lewis he has 2 TDs in 15 playoff games dudes overrated af only reason he had a good career not even great was all because of Manning

@@wickedgaming9520 he in his prime would cook any corner or safe you could think of id better the deed to my crib on dat

Dude how can you defend 2 TDs in 15 playoff games.. you can’t !

@@TheFlowBrothers team game

@@wickedgaming9520 You can't ignore his work ethic and performance. He went out to do his job and got it done. No complaints, no showboating and no disruption in the clubhouse. He earned his gold jacket

if Antonio is Marvin than Julio must be moss

Ace you think Julio is better?

oppose to who?

if your asking me do i think Julio is better than moss hell no or if your asking me do I think Julio is better thsn Antonio Brown I'm going to have to say yes but not by a lot he's just alil bit more athletic than Brown 2 very good wrs Id love to have on my team

AB > Marvin > Julio

Thanks for you recognition. Everyone keeps saying, "He had Peyton" like Manning didnt love and want Marvin there or something.

Abrahim Taha impact>consistency

Abrahim Taha right

Abrahim Taha really peyton was his QB tho

Consistant my nuts.... consistently botched by the Pats and Ty Law Harrison wAs... watch the tape fool.. the NFL changed the rules they felt so bad for Manning and his gay team

Ronald Breen I'm sorry that your patriots got stopped from holding receivers. So sorry...

Yes one of the best but not the best

Kube XXIII yea, no one saying he doesnt deserve to be on the list but Moss is better easy Owens probably too

Steve smith ?? www.footballperspective.com/single-season-leaders-in-receiving-yards-per-team-pass-attempt/ And a triple fucking crown

Put Marvin with Brad Johnson, Randal Cunningham, Daunte Culpepper, Jeff George, etc etc and he would be mediocre. We saw what Moss did when he actually had a QB, and that was at the tail end of his career.

He's the Tim Duncan of receivers.

Harrison couldn't hold RIce's jock with both hands and a back brace. To even mention Harrison in the same conversation is an insult. Harrison ran better routes than Moss and had hands just as good but that's it. Moss did literally EVERY other aspect of playing wide receiver better.

um52 had 2 of the greatest qbs ever throwing to them.. hall of famer for sure but not an all time great. If you would rather build a team around Marvin instead of randy your crazy

@@thewind6047 i would rather build a team around marvin i don't think that marvin was better then moss but marvin was a good team player and moss wasn't

@The Wind you can't build a team around a wide reciver the best wr can't be great unless he's got a good qb

@@thewind6047 Oh yeah because Marvin didn’t have someone amazing throwing it to him Marvin played inside with Peyton manning his whole career pretty much Moss and Rice played outside with a plethora of QBs (excluding Moss’s time in minnesota)

Marvin isn't even close to Moss. The dude was just lucky to have arguably the greatest regular season QB of all time throwing to him, Peyton Manning. If Moss had Brady his entire career, or at least since 2001 when Tom came up, Moss' numbers would be insane.

Exactly. Peyton knew where his bread was buttered.

Broall manning wr were good lol , Gonzalez, collie, Wayne, Harrison, garcon , bruh seriously

clearly not get over it Bitch

Korra no he went to the black hole aka the raiders

Korra and still put up worse stats than moss

OJspencer22 I AM NUMBER ONE EVERYONE KNOWS I WAS THE GOAT

Randy Moss you had too many lapses, and played for way too many teams to be as GREAT as you were!!!

Moss and TO's numbers are better. Sorry but I'll take big play receiver over a possession guy any day.

Marvin a possession WR? Um no

@@xaviervega468 they played more games than Marvin, so obviously they are gonna have better numbers. Maybe you should be looking at why their numbers are so close. Just proves Marvin was the better receiver

@@efraingarcia1814 They have better averages than Marvin as well.

HAHA ikr

+Kev Koning STRAIGHT UP BULLSHIT

+Baroque stop. Holt is a top 3 WR of this decade

he was on the list, they just didnt post his video

Torry Holt is number 4 and Steve Smith is 6... I think it should be Smith 4, Holt 5, Ward 6

Torry Holt was not better than Marrison Moss Owens

I bet this guy really is laughing his ass off. Simple things please simple minds.

Shawn Am Booce lmaooo

Alex Sanken moss had Brady

Harrison also had Reggie Wayne on the other side of the field taking targets away. Imagine if Moss had Steve Smith on the other side of the field almost his whole career, taking targets away. He might not even be on here then...might be like Issac Bruce and Tory Holt nowhere to be found.

moss was the one taking ON the double teams. harrison and wayne were pretty even so you couldn't double either one of them. lol @ anyone taking away targets from moss. You're not a throwing a 5 yard hitch instead of a guaranteed 60 yard touchdown bomb when moss throwing his hand up. Quarterbacks know where their money is at.

+clutchthepearls He had Chris Carter on the other side

+bonk caesar This is best WRs of the 2000s. Carter was gone after 2001 and his 2001 season was lackluster, getting less than 1000 yards. Wayne got to Indy in 2001 and was there with Harrison and Manning until Harrison retired in 2008. Moss had one year of an aging Cris Carter, in the 2000s, playing alongside at a high level. The rest of his career he was THE man. Harrison had Wayne putting up HOF stats for 8 years of the 2000s. My point is still more than valid.

He was drafted 2 years before Manning, but a majority of his career he did.

That’s saying something if possibly the best QB of all time kept you as his number one target for 10 years it’s a double sided argument

Yeah but that doesn't mean he can't be a good receiver look at this what if Randy Moss had Tom Brady for his whole career is we gonna say Randy Moss wasn't good cause he had Tom Brady no but that's what I think

Yeah but when you're talking about the best ever longevity is part of it. Terrel Davis might have been the best back ever but he only played a few seasons so we'll never know if he could have sustained that for a career. Johnson was definitely great but he retired too early to be considered best all time.

I wouldn't say Marvin wasn't fast. it's stated in some places that Marvin Harrison clocked around a 4.38-4.41 range in his 40 time. He just never had to truly use his speed on account of his routes being so precise and beautifully timed.

That’s literally Tory Holt good route runner and fast

Marvin was a beast

Harrison ran a 4.38 at his combine. He was 3-4 inches and probably 30-35 pounds lighter than those guys who were stronger while having longer limbs to their advantage. No one did it better and as consistent as 88. Champ Bailey even admitted Marvin Harrison was the toughest WR he’s ever played against.

His son wore an Apple Watch and Louis Vitton cleats on the field. He’s not quiet at all lol

@@elrond7887 lmaooooo

@@elrond7887 just because he wore accessories makes him a “loud person”? Y’all weird bruh

@@elrond7887 that doesn’t equate to “loudness”

@@vetvex3279 its a metaphor about personality. context is key

I thought it was just me! They're nowhere to be found.

clutchthepearls I think 6 is a Anquan boldin because I saw someone say that is the comments

WhoozyOMO : CS:GO n Stuff They're uploaded now

clutchthepearls that means they couldnt double either one. So thats its not a bad thing to have another great WR on the other side. Also with a great run game thats helps place action pass. Moss was part of 2 of the greatest offensives ever. No WR could do what moss did. Many have done with Harrison did

Taking passes away, dear God... Randy's getting triple covered no matter who's on the other side of the field, Harrison isn't, and people act like that's a handicap. If the WR2 is stealing passes it's because you can't destroy people one on one, both of which TO and Moss did in their sleep. Moss came in his rookie season, playing opposite Cris Carter who was a vet, HOF WR, and clearly established WR1. What does he do, oh just set the rookie record for yards and touchdowns. Averages 1400 yards and 14 TDs per year for the next 3 years. That's before Polian went crying to the league cause Harrison couldn't handle the Pats DBs, by the way. Every time Moss had what Harrison had, he made more of it. He gets a HOF QB for one single year of his prime, and he breaks the TD record. To boot, man misses nearly 2 full seasons of the 2000s... and ends up #1? 10 years of Randy are worth less than 8 of Harrison? Ridiculous.

Reggie Wayne didn't really start becoming a factor in Indy's offense until 2004. Before then it was mostly just Harrison Peyton was throwing to.

Peyton's got some records with Marvin Harrison that are unbreakable.

I agree JR is amazing and I know he will translate to the NFL in an error where Wrs will be the most important position

Correct 👍🏼

Teddy Goatwater being a deep threat is not all in being a great WR you should Know that!

Marvin Harrison was a deep threat was small and could easily get behind defenses

Deep threat is it. You probably think Julio is better than Hilton too. Numbers don’t lie.

jerick suicide Calvin Johnson

He also quit on plays, teams and bounced around the league. If Moss is so great why did he play for 6 different teams (counting 2 stints with Minn?). Moss was a physical beast but an emotional child.

Over 1,000 yards and 10 TD's in 8 CONSECUTIVE seasons lol.... Averaged 102 catches 1,400 yards and 12 TD's lol. "Jerry Rice never did that"..... Oh. Okay. Yeah sorry Owens fans or Chad fans or Moss fans the loud mouth diva wasn't the best.... Sorry ;(

They call them divas lol... In football.... "divas" psssshbaahahahah oh man it's so sad.

deleted comments bitch ass

Two words, Peyton Manning.

Revy's Bitch two words fucking degenerate

George Suzuki I think number 8

Goat

Ewok Thekid the goat at crying and running slants

@@deanascby71 Nah

No one cares about Michael "Slant" Thomas and his one route and quadruple moves off the line of scrimmage

He broke it because Drew Brees throws the ball like 50 times in a game that's why not because Thomas is good.

Jason M. aww this nigga crazy

Let me get this straight, You have shooter and Mr Stickem number one and 2? Good for u buddy.

was thinking the same thing...how in the hell did that guy get a gig at NFL Films with a mindset like that??

Yah that is ridiculous. I mean that's like hating on Barry Sanders because he simply tossed the ball to the ref after a td instead of showing off.
