1. Jarvis Landry

Jarvis Landry is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL. He’s been to five-straight Pro Bowls, the last two as a member of the Cleveland Browns. After starting his career with the Miami Dolphins he was shipped to Cleveland after the 2017 season. The team only gave up a 4th and 7th to acquire Landry, a rare win for the Browns front office.

Since joining the team, Landry had 164 receptions, 2,150 yards, and 10 touchdowns. He’s been key in the development of young franchise quarterback Baker Mayfield, and the two have meshed extremely well. With additions to the team in the 2020 off-season, Landry should see an even bigger increase in stats as time goes on.

While he’s only been on the team for two years and hasn’t had the same totality in yards and touchdowns accumulated as others, he very easily could surpass everyone on this list in a matter of years, if he can stay healthy, and remains with the team. The Browns have him under contract for three more years, and even when the deal expires, he’ll only be 31. If he can stay healthy throughout that run, maybe he can re-sign to a nice deal and chase down every franchise record.

That is if everything goes well.

Landry’s performances have been stellar, and the city has accepted him with gusto. Now all he needs to do is help Mayfield lead the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and then his place in the team’s lore will be cemented for eternity.
