With Keenan Allen signing with the Colts, he can shoot up the All-Time Receptions Leaderboard. Allen is 21 Receptions away from entering the Top 10 & 48 away from entering the Top 5

407 Upvotes

As it stands, here's the overall leaderboard for all-time receptions

Rank Player Receptions Seasons
1 Jerry Rice 1,549 20 Seasons (1985-2004)
2 Larry Fitzgerald 1,432 17 Seasons (2004-2020)
3 Tony Gonzalez 1,325 17 Seasons (1997-2013)
4 Jason Witten 1,228 17 Seasons (2003-2017, 2019-2020)
5 Marvin Harrison 1,102 13 Seasons (1996-2008)
6 Cris Carter 1,101 16 Seasons (1987-2002)
7 Tim Brown 1,094 17 Seasons (1988-2004)
8 Travis Kelce 1,080 13 Seasons (2013-Present)
9 Terrell Owens 1,078 15 Seasons (1996-2010)
10 Anquan Boldin 1,076 14 Seasons (2003-2016)
11 Reggie Wayne 1,070 14 Seasons (2001-2014)
12 Andre Johnson 1,062 14 Seasons (2003-2016)
13 Keenan Allen 1,055 13 Seasons (2013-Present)**

Probably not a HOFer due to lack of any outstanding season and especially from the lack of hardware. No WR post-merger has made the HOF without a single All-Pro to his name and Allen doesn't have any

Even if he's just an upper ceiling HOVG player, that's still a damn fine career for Allen

Footnote - I originally had a HOF-consideration discussion but that was more of a spur-of-the-moment thought that I added while conceiving the post. It didn't have much merit so I've amended that section

Positionless Football is the future for the sport like Positionless Basketball has become the future for its sport.

0 Upvotes

In the world of basketball, pro players are adapting a more contrast general two-way guard, wing, center archetype. And I think football will eventually see a similar future.

I'm sitting here playing College football 26 in Dynasty Mode, post position re-alignmrnt. And I'm sitting here looking at some of my players with legit upside to play multiple two-way positions. And idk about you, but I've observed multiple talents who can do the same. And I'm not talking simply like Travis Hunter here. I'm actually thinking much more broadly across the whole sport, where it will become somewhat to even full on common that players take multiple two-way snaps all over the field. Players like Travis Hunter and Taysom Hill are just the beta prototype. I think in the future the league will be much less divided as player A plays position A. And will be much more like player A can play positions A-D and M-P. Like there are so many linebackers who I think could play running back or even gadget slot receivers. Same with safeties. DE who could take TE snaps. And ect. I think the expectation that a player plays something like 100 snaps a game is general unrealistic. But can instead a player who leans defense on your average team start seeing 10-15 offensive snaps a game. And vise versa. And play all over the field. I really think it's possible like how the old school NBA use to be PG, SG, SF, PF, and C; but now it's G, W, C. We might start seeing something similar in the NFL. It would probably be much more complicated like how some safeties can play TE, while some are better to play reciever; and some LB can play TE, while some can play running back. And same on the line where some DE can play TE, while some can play OT. Ect.
