Steve Smith played in 61 games (or almost 4 seasons) more than Julio to accumulate a hair over 1,000 yards more. C'mon man.

Reggie Wayne, 53 more. Fewer All Pros and Pro Bowls.

Andre Johnson, 35 more.

Henry Ellard, 70 more. Surely you were just throwing out someone with more yards and don't consider him more worthy?


Julio's 5-year stretch from 2014-2018 was dominant and I think AB is the only one who comes close to it. Not to mention Julio is one of 6 players in NFL history with a 300-yard game and the only player in NFL history with more than one 250-yard game (and he has 3).

If he was eligible today, I'd put him in over any active candidate.
