It would be a close call for me between Monk and Henry Ellard.
Monk is one of my favorite all-time players, and he could always be counted on to make the clutch catch on 3rd down and keep the chains moving-- something that has been sorely lacking in the Redskins offense.

Ellard is another one of my faves, and he's also another receiver who spent his career moving the chains. Working with the fabulous trio of John Friesz, Heath Shuler and Gus Frerotte, he was able to post three consecutive 50+ reception, 1000+ yard seasons for the Redskins from '94 through '96...

Plus, I'd love to see another one of those post-touchdown backflips he was famous for.

I just wish one of these guys would come back and show the current bunch of stonehanded receivers how to catch.
