Manning made really good guys look great. He helped great receivers become legends. Matthews has a chance to have his name on The Ring of Honor around Neyland. He definitely has the skills and supposedly works even harder. Always remember, we were Wide Receiver U, long before Peyton threw his first TD in PeeWee football. Never forget this list of great Wide Receivers that were drafted between 1969-2001.Matthew’s has the potential to be the best WR we’ve had in 20 or so years. It’s tough to say if he’ll be better than some of the guys Manning had the pleasure of tossing the ball to.
Richmond Flowers, Larry Sievers, Stanley Morgan, Jeff Moore, Anthony Hancock, Mike Miller, Darryal Wilson, Willie Gault, Lenny Taylor, Clyde Duncan, Eric Swanson, Tim McGee, Joey Clinkscales, Anthony Miller, Thomas Woods, Vince Moore, Anthony Morgan, Alvin Harper, Carl Pickens, Cory Fleming, Billy Williams, Nilo Silvan, Joey Kent, Andy McCollough, Marcus Nash, David Martin and Cedrick Wilson. These are the WRs that were drafted from 70s, 80s and 90s teams. This does not include any of the great receivers out of the backfield. I suspect we will once again be known as WR U with the QB talent we have now and committed for the future. Nico, Merk, George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon will attract elite WR recruits and from the portal that want to play in CJH offense.
