It was a different game and before my time, but what about Cliff Branch? He played in the NFL over a decade I think.

I'm the Slim Shay-d, yes I'm the real Shay-d
Wait a Minardi, you are a rapper?
I'm not a rapper. I'm Awini!
Branch in today's game would be scary to say the least.
He played in an era when throwing the ball 30 times in a game was considered a lot.
In 1971 (CU finished #3 in the nation) the two QBs combined who got virtually all the playing time had a total of 75 completions on 189 attempts. Cliff had 13 of those catches but averaged over 25 yards per catch.
It was an era when DBs could mug a WR all over the field as long as the ball wasn't in the air. Teams knew they had no chance of keeping up with him so the norm was to try to knock him down at the LOS and if that failed to tackle him before he ever got the ball.
Even with that he was a strong guy for his size and was pretty effective getting off the line and into a pattern. In this era with contact limited he would destroy defenses. Yes DBs are now much faster and more athletic than they were but they still don't have Cliff Branch speed.
You may be out on a limb with that list.
If you were a rapper I was gonna ask if you ever covered the tune Rico Smith Suave.
