Best Tennessee Wide Receiver

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Cedric Wilson

He was underrated and a consistent player really good on the bubble screen plays.

 

[Dudleys87]

If he stayed I fully believe It would have been Patterson.

 

[Remy]

Pretty sad day when neither Stanley Morgan nor Willie Gault make this list or even get an honorable mention. Sheesh.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Carl Pickens was the best.
Peerless Price made the most clutch plays.

 

[wmcovol]

Peerless with a close second to Tim McGee. Both were men.

Cordarrelle Patterson is the most physically gifted freak I have seen here at wide receiver. I thought he could have been a All-SEC running back. That size speed elusiveness and change of direction that dude had was off the charts. He wasn’t much of a route runner though.

Agreed.Nobody made it look like a backyard game the way CP did.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Where’s Willie Gault?

in the end zone cause you blinked...

 

[guesscrazy]

UT should be titled wide receiver U but our coaches, OCs and QBs have held us back.

 

[GreveHaller]

without Craig Faulkner the list is crap

Larry Seivers

The ONLY 2X All-American WR in Tennessee history.........with Randy Wallace at QB
Enough said.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Kent, Pickens, Washington, and Meachum and Gualt were classics.

if you want history you need to go Peerless tho.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Anthony Miller was possibly the most talented WR ever. Unfortunately just a 2-year JUCO that missed half of his senior season with an injury. Great combination of hands and speed. And tough as nails. Like so many others he only had average-at-best QBs to hum the tater in his direction.

I’ll add Buddy Cruze for nostalgia. And Richmond Flowers.

 

[Rockytopvol86]

Jauan Jennings. Solely on his 2 great catches against UF and UGA which both led to beating our 2 main rivals in quite some time. Still love it when he toasted Tabor!

This… as it is also all we have had to bask in in lately

Patterson will have a monster season with the Falcons in 2021.

Straight as an arrow, that helmet stripe there.

 

[Special Ed]

How could I forget Gault he’s probaly top 5. It’s hard to pick a top 10 list of the best Tenn WR’s cause we have had so many thru the years.

Just turn your Top 10 up to 11, ala Spinal Tap.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

Tim McGee = If he's even, he's leaving ..... Frank Broyles.

Auburn has always been a tad “crooked”

Lots of better WR on the list but always thought he was a good WR.

 

[BigOrangeAl 1979]

Lots of better WR on the list but always thought he was a good WR.

Yea me too he played his freshman year with Manning then his senior year with Casey Clausen

Toledo is football royalty. don't forget it.

Carl Pickens was the most gifted pure WR athlete to play at Tennessee.
Peerless was the most clutch WR in my lifetime…with arguably QB converted to WR Jauan Jennings a close second.
Why?
He always played like a grown ass man amongst boys. He poured heart/soul into every play. When we needed a TD or 1st down he’d be the most physical player on the field dragging or our leaping everyone on his way. It is a damn shame he had to be handicapped by lame QB play most of his career. He’d be higher on Tennessee’s record charts if so.
I’m 45 mind you…went to UT from ‘94-‘99 been going to games since I was around 5yrs old. I’ve seen most the great ones live. JJ is a different animal…he is built different…what he lacked naturally at the position he replaced with sheer determination and power. Most physical looking to hit you first WR to punish DBS/LBS I’ve ever watched.
Case and point right below. He always wanted it more than those around him. I stand by this statement.

He was great......but not even in my top 10.

 

[LittleVol]

Isn't Kent still #1 in catches, yards and TDs? And he contributed this on good teams. How can it not be him?

Fair question.

But imo, Kent doesn't put 199 yards vs FSU in the Natty with Tubba Martin at QB
