They come in all shapes and sizes. They’re old. They’re new. They’re deep-threat playmakers and multitalented threats who make impacts in a number of different ways. Standout college football receivers come in many different packages and have a multitude of styles. Quantifying them can be difficult, but we’re going to try.

They were ranked by examining their statistical output, their potential place in the NCAA record books as well as their overall skills, since some of the best wideouts played only two or three seasons of FBS football, and others never played a down at college football’s highest level.

It’s not an easy list to make, and you might disagree with the choices, but when you’re as talented as these guys are, there are no true wrong answers.
