Monk vs. Irvin

Someone said that MOnk had more catches and yardage than Swann and Stallworth COMBINED. Can that be right?

I know that Monk caught about 950 passes but I would have guessed that both Swann and Stallworth had 600 - 700...

That is indeed right

Stallworth-537 receptions, 8.723 yards, 63 TDs
Lynn-336 receptions, 5.462 yards, 51 TDs
Total-873 receptions, 14,185 yards, 114 TDs

Monk-940 receptions, 12,721 yards, 68 TDs

I just find it hard to believe that the Redskins were (with the possible exception of the Niners) the best team in football from 1982-1992 and yet only John Riggins and Joe Gibbs are in the Hall from that era. Granted, Darrell Green will make it and perhaps Gary Clark. But no one else?!
