NCAA 2004 Top Receivers...

[Luke]

Does anybody know Michael Clayton? i guess not. 107 career catches and he is gonna be a JR. So basically watch out for him because he is extremely talented.

Clayton is very talented, but he's not in the same group as any of the Williams (Roy, Reggie, Mike), Evans and Berrian (assuming they're healthy), Woods, or Fitzgerald.

I would rate them like this:

1. Reggie Williams
2. Rashaun Woods
3. Roy Williams
4. Larry Fitzgerald
5. Mike Williams
6. Lee Evans
7. Bernard Berrian
8. Fred Gibson
9. Darius Watts
10. Michael Clayton

Newson could go either up or down on the list. He had a bad case of the dropsies last year and didn't seem to concentrate on the easy balls. Has speed and size to be great but his lack of focus could drop him lower on that list. Parker from UO is another sleeper. Was Oregon's reception and TD leader last year sharring passes to Howry and some to Wrighster. Could be up there with a solid year.

braylon edwards #1 at michigan, watch out for him this year, i think he deserves honorable mention

[Badger_Fan]

I was going to mention Edwards in my top ten, but I don't think he's there yet. He came out of nowhere last year and was fantastic, especially in the first half of the season.

Don't forget Michael Jenkins (OSU). He'll be in the 90s I'd think

Can't forget Chris Collins from Ole Miss either. He's a former track star and Manning's favorite target the past three years(10 TDs last year). At 6'2" 190lbs with sub 4.4 speed, he's a legimate senior gamebreaker. He owns just about every Ole Miss receiving record except career yardage, which is on the way this season. Keep an eye on him this year as a sure-fire First team All-SEC receiver pick (Gibson, Clayton, Collins), and a darkhorse for All-American honors.

Here's a few pics of him in action from last season....

Touchdown #2 against Miss State (65-yarder variety)

Touchdown!

I'd say you are pretty close to being right. IMO I believe John Standeford is a much better reciever then given credit for, but what can you do? He'll probably be mid-80's on the game.
