What's wrong with this ranking of the top wide receivers to ever play in the NFL?
Randy Moss
Terrell Owens
Jerry Rice
Nothing, according to Moss. All three are Hall of Fame receivers. All three are considered to be among the best ever to play the position. Rice is widely considered to be the best of all-time, with whoever is behind him in a distant second.
Moss feels he and Owens were better, though, and declared that on Owens' "Getcha Popcorn Ready" podcast. Moss was asked who he feels is the best ever to play the position.
"You're talking to him," he answered.
Moss ranks fourth all-time in receiving yards while Owens ranks third. Both are eclipsed by Rice and Larry Fitzgerald, who occupy the No. 1 and 2 spots, respectively. But Moss isn't looking at statistics. He is looking at impact.
"I'll put myself first. I'll put T.O. second," Moss continued. "Jerry's probably third or fourth. I'm talking about dominating the game and changing the game of football. I don't live on statistics because if you live on statistics and live on championships, that's all political.
"You've seen guys released or cut from a team just by a couple of words in the media. You've seen guys given contracts, or you've seen guys not given contracts just because of the color of their skin. So, I think that you've got to throw politics out of the game of football and look at the impact of what each individual was able to make in the game of football."
Although, Moss doesn't want to give the impression that he is discrediting any of Rice's achievements.
"I don't discredit anything that a guy like [Marvin Harrison], Jerry, Terrell has done for the game," Moss continues, "but when I look at the game of football, and my impact ... respectfully, I give myself the nod because if you're not going to bet and believe in yourself, then really, who are you?"
Added Moss: "I don't want the fans and the people watching you all's podcast to get it messed up that we dislike or discredit anything Jerry Rice was able to do or ever accomplish. I think when you look at the top of the pedestal, when you see that Jerry Rice's name is at the top, then when you look at the numbers that he had, and then you start calculating and stuff like that, I've got to play this many years to obtain this? The heck with all that. I just want to play football and just be an impactful type of ball player. I don't want people to really think myself and T.O. is slandering or bashing anything Jerry did because Jerry was the pedestal. He was at the top of it."
Meanwhile, Owens notes that Rice benefitted from playing with some of the best quarterbacks ever to play the game.
"Look at the quarterbacks he played with," Owens said, "and at that time, the system that he played in, and the competition. ... When you think about Jerry and the quarterbacks he played with, he never had a drop-off in quarterbacks. He went from one Hall of Fame quarterback to another."

Brandon Aiyuk's agent denies report of Steelers 'aggressively pursuing' the 49ers receiver
By David Bonilla

On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.
REPORTS: The Pittsburgh Steelers are aggressively pursuing a Brandon Aiyuk trade and the Steelers would be "surprised" if they don't land Aiyuk. Of note: Pittsburgh has the 20th overall pick. The Niners could look at that as equal value for Aiyuk if they can't get a deal done.…
Trent Taylor snatches up 49ers star receiver's old number

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be wearing No. 1 the next time he steps onto the football field, leaving behind his No. 19 jersey. It's an unfortunate change for any fan who previously invested in a Deebo jersey—unless they consider it a throwback.
Newly signed wide receiver Trent Taylor quickly claimed No. 19 after rejoining the team on a one-year deal following three seasons elsewhere. Taylor last wore No. 15 with the 49ers, a number currently worn by wide receiver Jauan Jennings. Taylor also wore No. 81 with the team.
The 49ers' official team site has listed the jersey numbers for several of the team's free-agent newcomers (and Maliek Collins, acquired via a
Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
By David Bonilla

With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
49ers sign WR Trent Taylor, reuniting with former draft pick

The San Francisco 49ers announced the signing of wide receiver Trent Taylor to a one-year deal, reuniting with the team's former fifth-round draft pick out of Louisiana Tech.
Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area was the first to report that the 49ers were discussing a potential reunion with Taylor. The receiver was part of head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch's first draft class in 2017 and spent his first four NFL seasons with the team.
