Ok, I'm sorry. I forgot you are so tight with Kelley.

I understand that KW has become a running joke on here but doubt many have any facts to back it up. You laugh about "The future" but did you even read the article? He was a stud who actually still holds the single game mark for UT receivers.

Guys, get a grip. Joey Kent is the easy winner. Check the career stats--he's the man: Most receiving yards, most touchdowns--he far eclipses Pickens. I loved Pickens (and Price), but his numbers are not close to Kent's. This isn't /who was a better pro/; this is production while at UT--and nobody topped Kent. Who can forget his 70-plus yard TD reception from Manning to open the bama game at Bama--I forget the year, but didn't it end a long losing streak to the tide? That play was electric. Kent was a GREAT college receiver.

Kent was a good receiver, but you have to look at who was throwing the ball to him. If Pickens had Manning as quarterback, our offense would have been unstopable.

Pickens and McGee were great on teams with great receivers. Manning made Nash and Kent what they were. Stanley Morgan was all-SEC one year at RB and one year at WR. Alvin Harper was also great. Gault was a great threat, but also on a team loaded with WRs. Pickens, McGee, Gault were so good I am not sure if Sam Graddy caught over 2 or 3 passes as a Vol and Terry McDaniel was switched to DB.

1. Carl Pickens- All America
2. Tim McGee- All America
3. Stanley Morgan
4. Anthony Hancock
5. Alvin Harper
6. Robert Meachem
7. Larry Seivers- All America
8. Joey Kent
9. Willie Gault- All America
10. Richmond Flowers- All America

no way Price doesnt crack the top 5! no way. I have several games from 97-98 recorded and I havent seen a receiver at UT that could create seperation, had the break-away speed, and had a double move like him since probably Pickens. Price hardly ever dropped a ball, very rarely did he drop a catchable ball. Price would have been one of the greatest recievers in the history of the NFL if he had more prototypical NFL size IMHO.

and I think Copeland should get honorable mention at the least. not the greatest because he had a nack for dropping balls the hit him right in the hands, but if I am not mistaken he was our leading receiver in 1998.

Peerless was very good, better than Marcus Nash or someone like Anthony Miller. But I couldn't put him above the 5 All Americans, a two time all-SEC and 4 time Pro Bowler in Stanley Morgan, Hancock, Harper, Meachem, or record holder Kent.

Pickens and McGee were some BA WRs back in the day. I'd take either over Meachem or Price. Pickens has to be the best WR I've ever seen put on a Volunteer uniform and one of my favorite Vols.

I respect that. Just going off what I know. And I would say being part of a National Championship team trumps a lot of gawdy stats. It's the BIG wins we remember not neccesarily stats. I would say top 3:
1. Pickens
2. Meachem
3. Price

joey kent; Carl Pickens


it depends on if we are just talking college time at UT, or are we determining it by both college and NFL careers
