Anthony Miller was one dimensional.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.
As a WR, he was strictly an outside the numbers guy. Once he left SD he was exposed. Neither Elway nor Aikman thought very highly of himReturned kick offs, caught passes, and averaged over 5 yards per carry. Was he supposed to also punt, kick field goals, throw passes, and play defense to meet your criteria as the best wide receiver?

I like his potential and what I saw last year from him. I think he will have a big season this year with this new offense.Could be Jalin Hyatt by the time it's said and done. I get excited watching his freshman highlights, then realize much of that was done with JG at QB and a terrible offensive game plan. Hyatt could have a huge year in 2021.
If I had to chose one Pickens but those are my starting 3 at wr. Imagine if Jennings had a qb like Peyton, Andy Kelly, or Tee that Pickens and Price had. If Jennings had a qb who would hit him in stride then there would have been a ton more corners and safeties run over.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.

You forgetting Condridge ?Larry Seivers
The ONLY 2X All-American WR in Tennessee history.........with Randy Wallace at QB
Enough said.
