Cards From the Best WRs of the Decade
Loading ...After offensives rose to new heights in the 1990s, the 2000s took it up a notch with previously unfathomable quarterback play up to that point in history, leading to a decade of prolific wide receiver production. Statlines thought impossible to reach were obliterated, from The Greatest Show on Turf to Terrell Owens watching and learning from Jerry Rice and Cris Carter handing the reins to Randy Moss – this was an extraordinary decade.
Below, you’ll find these record-breaking phenoms and their cards to collect from vintage sets and the latest Topps releases: Topps Motif Football and Topps Composite Football.
