That is almost a correct statement. Monk has more recptions than ANYONE currently enshrined in the HoF.
67 more than Swann and Stallworth, COMBINED!
- (on a side note - go and compare Stallworth to Gary Clark and Swann to Ricky Sanders and tell me if the two Stealers belong)
Almost 200 more than Irvin.
Largent is the closest at 819
Monk's TD numbers are hurt by the fact that he was part of the best trio of WRs in NFL history, in a run first offense, with suspect QBs. Yet he still ended his career holding the NFL's biggest record for a WR, plus two more NFL records.
In my humble opinion the whole posse should be in the hall of fame and the Hogs. You dont get a nickname like the posse without being good. You earn a nickname like that. The whole league knew that they were in for a game when facing the posse and the Hogs etc.
Gary Clarks numbers are pretty impressive as well he gained 10866 yards in 11 seasons. Caught 699 passes, averaged 15.5 yards a reception. No doubt Clark showed up in the big games. SuperBowl 87 and 91 he had outstanding performances.
Ricky Sanders averaged 13.4 yards a catch. He played 10 seasons and gained around 6500 yards. He had 483 receptions over his career. But, once again he showed up big in the big games. This is very important. He was clutch in the big show.
The whole posse , the Hogs should go into the hall soon. Darell Green is a no brainer. He will go in no doubt firt ballot.
