Top 5 NFL receiving duos of all-time ft. Randy Moss and Cris Carter
Currently, in the NFL, we're seeing more and more teams pair up a duo of stud wide receivers to aid their quarterback and propel their franchises to the very top of the game. One recent example that stands out is with the Cincinnati Bengals, who paired Ja'Marr Chase up with Tee Higgins for the 2021-22 season. Cincinnati went from a four-win team to the Super Bowl.
Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins can’t be stopped this season 🐅 https://t.co/aD2U90vCIY
Having two elite wideouts can propel your team to the top, as was the case with the Bengals. This is why we've seen plenty of teams down the years have success with a pair of stud receivers.
Here are five of the best in NFL history.
#5 - Mark Duper and Mark Clayton, Miami Dolphins
The "Mark Brothers" are amongst the best NFL receiving duos of all time, having starred for the Miami Dolphins in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Duper managed four 1,000-yard seasons in Miami, including two 1,300 seasons, while Clayton had five 1,000 seasons. The latter was named to five Pro Bowls while with the Dolphins, while Duper made three.
It helped that they had one of the best quarterbacks in league history throwing the ball: Dan Marino. But the "Mark Brothers" were electric in their prime.
#4 - Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, St. Louis Rams
The pair, who formed the "Greatest Show on Turf," combined to create one of the best wide receiving duos in NFL history.
As members of the St. Louis Rams, Bruce and Holt helped the team win the Super Bowl in 1999. Despite not being able to lead the team to another Lombardi Trophy, both had five 1,000-receiving-yard seasons in the next seven years.
Since retiring, Bruce has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. There have been plenty of shouts from Rams fans for Holt to join him.
