Georgia’s best receivers in the NFL: Where does AJ Green rank among the all-time WRs?

The Georgia Bulldogs are known for their defense, that’s easy. But quietly, Georgia has moved in some super talented receivers from college football to the NFL lately. The pinnacle of that group is, of course, AJ Green. How many Georgia receivers are in the NFL today and how have they performed throughout their careers?

AJ Green is the pinnacle of Georgia catchers in the NFL

With four current NFL receivers hailing from Georgia, it was easy to put Green on top. As just one of the 50 pass receivers to accumulate at least 10,000 receiving yards in his career, Green continues to raze defensive backs. Let’s take a look at the four receivers Georgia currently claims in the NFL.

4. Isaiah McKenzie, Buffalo Bills

Talk about a versatile threat. Isaiah McKenzie has had great success as a rotary catcher and comeback man in the NFL. McKenzie’s career year happened just a season ago. He caught 33 receptions for 296 yards, but 6 of those receptions were touchdowns. McKenzie is a reliable receiver who has lost only a handful of passes in his career. It has also totaled nearly 1,500 all-purpose return yards to date.

3. Chris Conley, Houston Texans

Although expectations were certainly high, Chris Conley has had an incredibly strong NFL career thus far. In seven seasons, he went from the Kansas City Chiefs to a duo of AFC South teams.

His stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have gone unnoticed nationally, but he still racked up 1,569 receiving yards in the past three years. Additionally, Conley has caught multiple touchdowns in each of the past four seasons.

2. Mecole Hardman, Kansas City Chiefs

A viable No. 3 receiver in a talented Kansas City Chiefs receiving corps, Mecole Hardman is more than just a sprinter. He has accumulated at least 30 receptions and 500 yards in each of his first three seasons. Hardman also shone as a rookie with nearly 1,000 kick-return yards. To this day, he has 13 received touchdowns and another 2 career TDs under his belt.

1. AJ Green, Arizona Cardinals

Green has amassed 721 career receptions for 10,510 yards. That number of receiving yards is good enough to rank 44th all-time. Green’s first 10 seasons were illustrious with the Cincinnati Bengals. He amassed at least 1,000 yards in five consecutive seasons and in six of his first seven years as a professional. Despite missing 2019 through injury, Green has averaged more than 1,000 yards in every season he has played.
