Saw this on IG. Who’s yours?

[u/Tacoisgud]

[u/MasterTeacher123]

Joe Jurevicius

[u/SWKenRobert → u/MasterTeacher123]

Terrell Owens.. I was sure he was gonna be good.  /s

[u/algo-rhyth-mo → u/SWKenRobert]

JJ Stokes. I thought he was cool.

[u/SWKenRobert → u/algo-rhyth-mo]

What a steal at #10....or so we all thought. Bad 40 time? So what? Jerry Rice had a bad 40 time. Reminds me of the Calvin & Hobbes: "You know how Einstein got bad grades? Well mine are WORSE!"

[u/TrevorsBlondeLocks16 → u/MasterTeacher123]

Jurevicius is just a badass name tbf

[u/renegaderelish → u/MasterTeacher123]

Still the most impressive catch I've seen in the NFL

[u/ducksekoy123 → u/MasterTeacher123]

That one works for Cleveland too

[u/rob132 → u/MasterTeacher123]

He was a giant first.

[u/bigpoppa973 → u/MasterTeacher123]

Same, but as a New York Football Giants fan.

[u/Mfrack103]

Jeremy Maclin, but he’s just underrated, not mediocre

[u/SeasonalWellness → u/Mfrack103]

Todd Pinkston for me

I went to birds training camp as a kid and was one of the kids who got to help them carry their pads to practice. I walked with Todd. I still remember when he reached out to take his pads back I thought he wanted to hold my hand. He didn’t love that🙂

[u/Mfrack103 → u/SeasonalWellness]

So sick! And funny too haha

I was gonna meet Duce Staley at a card shop for a meet and greet in Conshohocken but his daughter was sick that day. So bummed.

Recently found out that my girlfriend’s boss used to be Staley’s wingman in college! And a brief walk on for the team haha

[u/IamNotThanosWTF → u/SeasonalWellness]

Todd…Stinkston🙃

[u/OreoPirate55 → u/SeasonalWellness]

Todd Pinkston and Freddie Mitchell held a special place in my heart back in the day. I still have a Fred-Ex signed photo that I have no idea where my parents got it from

[u/Morgoth424 → u/Mfrack103]

i was looking for this

[u/Mfrack103 → u/Mfrack103]

Also obsessed with Shady. As pictured here in my bedroom from when I was younger.

[u/MemoryTime1303 → u/Mfrack103]

Ah yes. Shady, Maclin, Chip Kelly. My fave era of Eagles mediocrity

[u/Mfrack103 → u/MemoryTime1303]

Maclin and Shady could still be tearing it up here if it wasn’t for Chip Kelly. It’s on sight with that mf

[u/jdemack → u/Mfrack103]

Thanks for Shady he helped Josh out a lot.

[u/Mfrack103 → u/jdemack]

I promise I’m not salty at Bills or Chiefs about him leaving. My gripe is with Chip (fucker) Kelly.

I’m glad he got some more good ball

[u/jtodd96 → u/Mfrack103]

Jason Avant. Also not mediocre, but he was a WR3. His hands were insane

[u/Mfrack103 → u/jtodd96]

God man, good times.

Avant, Ertz, Celek, Kelce, Ertz, Shady, Westbrook, Ertz.

We have it damn good now but it was good then too

[u/jtodd96 → u/Mfrack103]

What could have been.. I'll never forgive Chip Kelly for decimating that group.

[u/No_Albatross916 → u/jtodd96]

As a Michigan fan I loved avant

[u/CarolingianDruid → u/Mfrack103]

Mizzou Made! him and Chase Daniel were electric in college.

[u/GoChiefs2576 → u/CarolingianDruid]

Kirkwood high alum

[u/whatevermanz → u/Mfrack103]

Jordan Matthew's for me. He had a decent rookie season and it helps i met him. Real nice guy.

[u/Pixelated_Penguin808 → u/Mfrack103]

Dating myself a bit here, but "Arkansas" Fred Barnett for similar reasons.

[u/hashslingingbutthole → u/Mfrack103]

Yup, all of our other options were less than mediocre (Todd Pinkston, Freddie Mitchell, Kevin Curtis etc) or named TO/Desean Jackson lol. Loved Jeremy Maclin.

[u/potato-dome]

Antwan Randel-El

[u/phreakzilla85 → u/potato-dome]

Nicest throw of Super Bowl XL

[u/tsunami_forever → u/potato-dome]

He’s great as the bears WR coach!

[u/potato-dome → u/tsunami_forever]

Yeah I heard he was doing well as a coach

[u/tlollz52 → u/potato-dome]

Randel-El was not mediocre

[u/ExpansiveAcorn7 → u/potato-dome]

The goat never forget his time on the skins.

[u/darkprussianblue → u/potato-dome]

I’ll never forget the gadget plays 🥺

[u/Popple06]

Ed McCaffrey (yes, that's Christian's dad)

[u/Zjc_3 → u/Popple06]

Hey, he was really good for three years randomly before he broke his leg. Still remember watching that game. First time I remember being real sad over an injury that I watched live. I didn’t see the game where TD tore his acl on an interception…

[u/cowannago → u/Zjc_3]

And then the next day you forgot all about it.

[u/Zjc_3 → u/cowannago]

Not really. I was pretty young but old enough that I was far too attached to the broncos and kept feeling bummed about it the next day.

[u/hillbilly_hooligan → u/Zjc_3]

the next day was 9/11 🥴

[u/Zjc_3 → u/hillbilly_hooligan]

What I just told the other guy.

[u/Bingle_Derries → u/Popple06]

He was better than mediocre IMO. Loved Eddy Mac. And he’s got a great condiment line! Especially the mustards lol

[u/tonytroz → u/Bingle_Derries]

Yeah Second-Team All-Pro in 1998 followed by 1000 yards and 7 TDs and 1300 yards and 9 TDs so it wasn't just a fluke.

[u/Caveape80 → u/Popple06]

I gotta say even as a Chiefs fan he was a bad man, tough as hell, great hands, was always pissing me off on 3rd and whatever back in the day!

[u/Slick_Tuxedo → u/Popple06]

That was gonna be my answer but was he really mediocre? He was kind of awesome I thought

[u/Phaedrus317 → u/Popple06]

[u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Bernard Berrian

[u/echointhecaves → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

I was thinking Marty Booker. Truth be told, both Berrian and Booker were pretty good players.

[u/ArticleGerundNoun → u/echointhecaves]

Booker was pretty much the only capable offensive player on those very early 00s squads that were all defense, no offense. Led the team with only 8 TDs in 2001 and somehow got to 1000 yards that year.

[u/renegaderelish → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Johnny Knox

Bobby Engram

[u/especiallyrn → u/renegaderelish]

Can’t forget when Johnny got twisted up like a GI Joe. Hope he’s doing ok.

[u/Spadesta → u/especiallyrn]

His shoulder blades touched his ass cheeks. I thought he died

[u/Illustrious_Hotel527 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Willie Gault (I'm that old)

[u/Muffin-Flaky → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Devin Aromashodu

[u/Little_Plankton4001 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Tom Waddle

[u/PlusAd120 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Fire pull I was gonna say Muhsin Muhammad

[u/pc276602 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Curtis Conway

[u/jackwhite886 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

A few years prior for me was Marcus Robinson

[u/No_Replacement_7755 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Curtis Conway right here

[u/TrustinTrubisky → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Dane Sanzenbacher

[u/HT6868 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Earl Bennett my man

[u/Cummyshitballs → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

More recently Darnell Mooney

[u/tlollz52 → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

If you ask me, a vikings fan, Bernard Berrian was HOF

[u/HokieSpartanWX → u/Happy-Sweet-3577]

Unironically, same here. That 99-yard TD from Frerotte to him against you guys on SNF back in ‘08 is one of the earlier football memories I have

[u/Responsible_Ship_682]

Sydney Rice 😔

[u/PromotionMurky916 → u/Responsible_Ship_682]

Came here to say this!

[u/finmoore3 → u/Responsible_Ship_682]

Back in the days when the Seahawks had to overpay to bring free agents in

[u/FirmChallenge7643 → u/finmoore3]

When the Vikings were the Seahawks’ farm team

[u/versace_nick → u/FirmChallenge7643]

Percy and Sydney back to back is comedy

[u/Uncle_Teo]

This was me last year with Tim Patrick

[u/SuperSaiyanTLaw → u/Uncle_Teo]

I love that guy I hope he stays a jag

[u/Automizing → u/SuperSaiyanTLaw]

Broncos fan — very sad we let him walk but I understand why. Glad he’s doing well elsewhere.

[u/Uncle_Teo → u/SuperSaiyanTLaw]

I know why we let him go, but man he was the embodiment of the teams identity. Delivered when asked upon, never complained, tough, and played his ass off for the team. Hope he continues to succeed wherever he goes.

[u/boog2352 → u/Uncle_Teo]

Old man here. My was Nate Burleson. Herman Moore was too awesome to qualify.

[u/Aromatic_Ad_32]

Shout out Austin Collie. Dude would’ve been better than mediocre if he didn’t get hit in the head so many fucking times

[u/phreakzilla85 → u/Aromatic_Ad_32]

Pretty sure his picture comes up when you Google “hospital ball”.

[u/Jmw566 → u/Aromatic_Ad_32]

Dude was responsible for earning us one of the best sports comic panels out there with Peyton wanting to put him down himself with a hospital ball rather than let the vets do it.  

https://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/collie/

[u/cheekiewalrus → u/Aromatic_Ad_32]

Dudes head is as squishy as a rotten tomato these days

[u/Hambone6991 → u/Aromatic_Ad_32]

Dude managed 60 catches a year on a team that included Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garçon, and Dallas Clark. Notable WRs that caught 60 balls this year were DK Metcalf and Tee Higgins and both played at least 15 games.

He was always better than mediocre.

[u/bigstain90]

Stevie Johnson

[u/_AlreadyThrownAway_ → u/bigstain90]

He was not mediocre. Dude was a beast. Just for whatever reason, it never ended up working out for him. Injuries I suppose.

[u/gabriel1313 → u/_AlreadyThrownAway_]

Everything went downhill after he blamed God for that drop

[u/No_Conversation_4827 → u/gabriel1313]

I only remember this cuz I’m a Steelers fan lmfaoooo. A near classic Tomlin loss if he catches that

[u/BasedArzy → u/bigstain90]

the Darelle Revis quote that he can't cover Stevie because Stevie doesn't run routes, he just runs around is one of the all-time great lines.

[u/Aaron_Judge_ToothGap → u/bigstain90]

Stevie was a beast and unique though. No one really has run "improvised" routes like he has since hes been out of the league.

Sucks he never had a great qb in Buffalo to throw him the ball...

[u/Kwazimoto → u/Aaron_Judge_ToothGap]

You leave Fitz's name out of your goddamn mouth! He was great... Intermittently.

[u/pachangoose → u/bigstain90]

I’m a Dolphins fan but calling Stevie Johnson mediocre is absolute slander.

[u/DantePlace → u/bigstain90]

He was my first jersey purchase! I loved his seemingly authentic love for Buffalo. He gave off the impression that his personality could have been a great fit for a larger city and market and yet he still repped Buffalo like it was a bigger city than it was.

[u/BeanserSoyze → u/bigstain90]

Lil Stevie ruled

[u/YungDagger_D]

Percy harvin and Jermaine kearse 😭😭

[u/Nulgarian → u/YungDagger_D]

Man Kearse is the perfect answer for this

Invisible most of the time, and than would inexplicably make a ridiculously difficult catch at a crucial point in the game

[u/Zinkane15 → u/Nulgarian]

3rd down Kearse was unstoppable.

[u/Lannisters-4-life → u/YungDagger_D]

I feel like every Percy Harvin bubble screen went for 25 yards I don’t understand how he didn’t have a better NFL career.

[u/teremaster]

Danny Amendola

[u/Foreign_Bed6270 → u/teremaster]

And hogan😂

[u/knect4 → u/Foreign_Bed6270]

And Malcom Mitchell - all 3 came up wicked clutch during their NE time though. Malcolm and Sony are such big "what if" guys for me.

[u/pgophs → u/Foreign_Bed6270]

my bong in college was named Chris hogan

[u/Educational-Gur7479 → u/teremaster]

My cool Pats WR was Terry Glenn

[u/Rancid-broccoli]

Wayne Chrebet 

[u/boneheadblyat → u/Rancid-broccoli]

Not a Jets fan, but Laveranues Coles!

[u/Weary_Primary3410]

Braylon Edwards lmfao

[u/wonderbat3 → u/Weary_Primary3410]

Yea that one year tho. Dude was a beast with Derek Anderson

[u/indicateintent]

The Miles Austin/Sam Hurd days >

That’s when I started thinking WR numbers in the teens were cool.

[u/4e2n0t → u/indicateintent]

Austin was pretty good, he just got hurt a lot.

[u/ThatHotAsian → u/indicateintent]

Nah Miles was way better than mediocre his hamstrings were just made of glass

[u/VampireOnHoyt → u/indicateintent]

Fun fact: one of my friends from elementary school was Sam Hurd's accomplice when he was convicted of distributing drugs

[u/dfulton2009]

Yancy Thigpen

[u/TeknoBro → u/dfulton2009]

Right with you brother.

[u/Theomorphick]

Chris Chambers

[u/SlickDillywick]

Ricky Proehl

Edit: also Brandon Stokley

[u/Tuckboi69 → u/SlickDillywick]

Oh caught Stokley down the sideline

[u/magnq9 → u/SlickDillywick]

Ricky Proehl is the new head coach of the STL Battlehawks UFL team!

[u/riskiermuffin27]

cecil shorts

[u/BrianThomasJrJr → u/riskiermuffin27]

Ah that's a good one. I just posted Allen Hurns

[u/sdhiman33]

TJ Housh

[u/nat5142 → u/sdhiman33]

Yeah don’t even bother trying to spell it all lol

[u/mtntodesert → u/sdhiman33]

TJ who’s your mama

[u/GrecoRomanGuy → u/sdhiman33]

Ah yes, gotta love TJ WhosYourMomma

[u/Relative-Cobbler-372]

Jarvis Landry (Miami)

[u/Sensitive_Ad8147 → u/Relative-Cobbler-372]

The correct answer is Devon Bess. Landry was actually good

[u/pachangoose → u/Sensitive_Ad8147]

Bess, Hartline, Rishard Matthews… we’ve had our share of mediocre receivers but agreed that Landry wasn’t one of them.

[u/sidearmpitcher]

Dante Hall was by no means mediocre, but he was a mediocre WR

[u/statistician88 → u/sidearmpitcher]

Young me couldn't understand why sick returners like him and Devin Hester couldn't make dominant receivers.

[u/Paulbegalia]

Harry Douglas

[u/-7D7-]

Jake bobo John ursua David Moore

[u/Obvious-Ad-16 → u/-7D7-]

John Ursua would be a Seattle legend if we actually got into the end zone against the 49ers on week 17.

[u/Necessary-Act-1137]

Terrance Williams 83 - Dallas Cowboys

[u/Expensive-Spare-2351 → u/Necessary-Act-1137]

Can’t forget Miles Austin and Cole Beasley as well. I also used to call him T Will

[u/jackt-up → u/Necessary-Act-1137]

Cedrick Wilson too

[u/krawkawww]

Hunter Renfrow

[u/Repulsive-Row-6182 → u/krawkawww]

All time great nickname tho: “The Slot Machine.” That’s too good to retire with Renfrow.

[u/Deep_Talk_9604 → u/Repulsive-Row-6182]

3rd and Renfrow never got old

[u/sandwichlover1000]

Chad Jackson. Dude barely got on the field in 07 but for some reason he was my guy

[u/MrWartortle → u/sandwichlover1000]

I wanted him to succeed for the basic fact that his name was close in similarity to Chad Johnson lol

[u/AchtungCloud]

Alvin Harper (I’m old). But he left as a free agent and never really did anything after leaving.

[u/iAmTheRealC2 → u/AchtungCloud]

I was new to fandom back in those days, and remember being gutted when he left via free agency. Irvin/Harper - those were some fun games

[u/Spadesta]

Jason Avant, who has great hands

[u/MountHushmore]

JJ Stokes

[u/Swaayyzee]

I originally became a rams fan because of that one Tavon Austin highlight reel

[u/BmoreSE]

Torrey smith

[u/gabriel1313]

Chris Chambers and Marques Colston

[u/RichardFarmer → u/gabriel1313]

Colston had 6 1000 yard seasons and almost 10000 yards receiving. He was not mediocre

[u/drew-careymore]

Ike Hilliard

[u/MakeDivorcesFree]

Amani Toomer

[u/DiskSalt4643]

TO but as it turned out he wasnt mediocre.

[u/LieOhMy → u/DiskSalt4643]

More like Arnaz Battle

[u/Mysterious-Ride6671]

Kevin Walter

[u/goldboy14]

Nate burleson

[u/CthulhuBathwater]

How about injury? Sterling Sharpe. My gods he was fun to watch. 

[u/fawks_harper78 → u/CthulhuBathwater]

He was never mediocre.

[u/ShartJerky → u/CthulhuBathwater]

The correct millennial packers answer is Bill Schroeder

[u/Choice_Telephone584]

Roy Williams was MY LION. I was heartbroken when he went to Dallas.

[u/CarolingianDruid]

Az-Zahir Hakim!

[u/Big_Nebula_5432]

Brandon Marshall

[u/MtnDudeNrainbows → u/Big_Nebula_5432]

Dude was an all-pro 2012

[u/Significant_Push_856]

Javon Walker

[u/DapperCam]

Lee Evans?

[u/DarthTchalla96]

Chris Chambers

[u/Rons_mkay]

The reason I am a commitment person and will never divorce is because my two receivers were Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith, who both played and retired as Broncos. I never had that ending heartbreak.

[u/Xrider24 → u/Rons_mkay]

I had to dig way too far to find my guy Rod Smith mentioned. Bunch of Ed's though, which I do love to see. That block in the super bowl vs the Pack still fills my mind with strength and joy.

[u/LossyP]

Unfortunately Crabtree. If you told me back then that I’d be an even bigger a Richard Sherman fan I’d think you were smoking the purest of crack

[u/Rare_Direction_1449]

Curtis Conway

[u/BootySweatEnthusiast]

Vincent Jackson (although he walked and was not a trade). I even ended up going to the same college as him despite it being 2k miles from home.

[u/Stanpants]

Hakeem Nicks

[u/prich889]

I thought Golden Tate was sick

[u/maxh26]

Tai Streets

[u/OpenMindedMajor → u/maxh26]

Beat me to it

[u/Slimjuggalo2002]

Louis Lipps

[u/Limp-Pudding-5436]

[u/canyongolf]

Robert Brooks

[u/TeknoBro]

Yancey Thigpen.

[u/BricksByPablo]

Stevie fucking Johnson baby

[u/Ok_Wrongdoer3474]

Johnnie Morton. I think he ended up doing some MMA fighting also.

[u/the_lullaby]

I was a white kid in 1970s Montana who wanted to grow up to be Drew Pearson.

[u/Past-Sun-2357]

Darrell Jackson

At least we got a 4th round pick for him haha

EDIT: Just looked it up and the pick was Mansfield Wrotto, a guard out of Georgia Tech

[u/_slattbusiness]

earl bennett

[u/TacticalSpackle]

Kevin Curtis.

[u/eides-of-march]

Sydney Rice

[u/RamboMcQueen]

Good ol Cecil Shorts III.

[u/Psalm27One]

The definition of mediocre must have changed since I last used it…people mentioning TO, Amendola, Brandon Marshall, Percy Harvin, Steve Smith…guys, the prompt was mediocre, not washed star.

And of course my answer is BRIAN HARTLINE!!

[u/EveningRepeat1632]

Eddie Royal lol

[u/Full_Mission7183]

It wasn't a WR it was a CB: Everson Walls

[u/DallasInDC → u/Full_Mission7183]

Leading the league in ints three times is not mediocre lmao. Love Everson too though

[u/goldennuggetjr]

Either Kendrick Bourne or Marquise Goodwin for me

[u/kushdeeper → u/goldennuggetjr]

Goodwin had such a sad story, will always root for him

[u/BasedArzy]

Bobby Engram

[u/5DsofDodgeball69]

Does Alvin Harper count or is he too good?

[u/Brian-88]

Demi Moore.

Not a WR but Rex Burkhead.
