Hines Ward
Playoff Stats: 217 games played (190 starts), 1,000 receptions, 12,083 yards, 85 TD
Hines Ward was just a good football player. The Steelers made the playoffs eight times during his illustrious tenure, including two Super Bowl titles. He was a fantastic player in every element of the game. Ward lacks the jaw-dropping stature of several of his peers. The majority of that stems from his time with a defensive-minded Pittsburgh team that relied heavily on the run game. As a result, Ward had a consistent influence as a run blocker. Ward, maybe most critically, saved his finest performance for the most critical occasions. Ward has 10 career postseason touchdowns, including two in the Super Bowl, and is ninth all-time in playoff receiving yards.

DeAndre Hopkins
Playoff Stats: 136 games played (136 starts), 789 receptions, 10,581 yards, 68 TD
DeAndre Hopkins, who is only 30 years old, has already cemented his place in the Hall of Fame. The Houston draft pick topped 10,000 receiving yards in 2020 after only eight seasons in the league. Hopkins is the active NFL player with the most career receiving yards (10,581), following only Julio Jones. His 77.8 yards per game rank sixth all-time. Consider the quarterbacks Hopkins faced before to joining Deshaun Watson and Kyler Murray on the field. In 2017, Hopkins finished fourth in the voting for Offensive Player of the Year, despite starting 10 of Houston’s 16 games that year.
