Rank Player League Yrs. No. Yards Avg. TD

17T Michael Irvin NFL 12 750 11,904 15.9 65
Granted, Monk played longer, but it's at least a country mile. Monk is the highest rated eligible receiver not to be in the HOF. The fact that all but three of the names on the list (Largent, Lofton, and Joiner) retired AFTER Monk underscores how amazing his stats are.
EDIT: I forgot Lofton retired before Monk.
