Plaxico Burress- is on the verge of becoming one of the best receivers in the league and one of the top superstars. He has great height at 6 feet 6 inches and fabulous catching ability.

	Hines Ward-has proven himself in the past two years that he is the best all around receiver in the NFL. He has incredible hands, can run after the catch, can make plays all over the field, and most important is that he can block better than any other receiver in the league.
