I'm actually going to go with Steve Smith for this one, but I can understand the argument for Anquan Boldin.

Smith - 16 yrs, 1031 catches, 14731 yards, 14.3 ypc, 67.3 ypg, 81 TD, 2x All Pro
Boldin - 14 yrs, 1076 catches, 13779 yards, 12.8 ypc, 68.2 ypg, 82 TD, 0x All Pro

Honestly im going to say Ray Rice. The way he could turn little dump offs to 30 yards, or his elusiveness, how hard he was to bring down, his ability to catch like a slot WR. There was that 4 year stretch where he was a top 5 RB, If he could of got more carries in his rookie year im sure he would of put of respectable numbers

I'll go with Priest Holmes. He was the AFC's version of Marshall Faulk. If he would've had a healthier career, he would be in the HOF right now.

No doubt he was awesome, but I just don't get putting guys on this list that didn't perform in the conversation that we are talking about while wearing our uniform.

I don't either but the OP listed Dallas Clark so I just went with it.

Which also makes zero sense considering he put up a whopping 350 yards here, but oh well

In that case its either Sharpe or SSSr. I dont think anyone else can come close

Holmes wasnt special here compared to what he did in KC.

I'd go with Rice. He was a special player for multiple years.

I think people pushing Boldin are overvaluing him based on sentimental feelings.

I don't think Boldin compares either as a "Raven guy", where Rice and Lewis would both rank higher, or "literal guy" where Sr. and Sharpe would both be higher.
