Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf was a guest on the All Things Covered podcast earlier this week. One of many subjects Metcalf touched on was his list of the greatest wide receivers of all time.
Metcalf listed his top five of all time as such:
- Antonio Brown
- Randy Moss
- Terrell Owens
- Jerry Rice
- Julio Jones
A pretty reasonable list, aside from Seahawks legend Jerry Rice being ranked a few spots too low. Then again, Rice retired when Metcalf was only nine years old, so we’ll give him a pass on that.
As for his top receives currently in the league, Metcalf named three:
- Justin Jefferson – Vikings
- Davante Adams – Raiders
- A.J. Brown – Eagles
Jefferson is also at the top of our recent rankings for the top 33 wide receivers in the league. Our only objection here is that Tyreek Hill should probably be included in any top-three list, but to be fair it is a very-crowded picture at the top. As for Metcalf, we have him ranked just outside the top 10 at No. 12 in the league.
