Who are some of the greatest number 2 receivers ever??

Question

Meaning someone who wasn't the 1st option to throw the ball to but always came through when it was time

Answer 1

Mark Duper for Clayton

Answer 2

John Taylor - 49ers

He played on the other side of the greatest WR in history.  

Answer 3

Donald Driver for the Packers. Did you see that ninety yard touchdown by him off of a screen pass against the giants. the other option is Greg Jennings.

Answer 4

John Stallworth is, in my opinion, the greatest "number 2" receiver ever to play the game, who was only slotted as a number 2 wideout because he played on a team with Lynn Swann, forming what many consider to be the greatest receiving duo of all time.

Other great number 2 receivers are Reggie Wayne of the Colts (number 1 is Marvin Harrison), Torry Holt of the Rams (number 1 was Isaac Bruce), and John Taylor of the 49ers (only slotted as #2 because he played with Jerry Rice!).  

Answer 5

John Taylor, Mark Duper.

Answer 6

One reciever that comes to mind is Reggie Wayne.  All of his time in Indianapolis he was starting next to Marvin Harrison.  Now of course Harrison has been there longer but Reggie Wayne didn't start making a name for himself until a few seasons ago.  He isn't exactly a premier reciever in the league but he is on his way.  His numbers prove that he is a very underated WR.  Usually when you mention the QB and WR tandems you often hear of Manning and Harrison, however I think that Reggie Wayne has proven himself to step up in the big games especially in the playoffs.. Another WR that was number 2 would probably be Wes Welker.  Now if he isn't a number 2 reciever that deserves credit, then I don't know of anyone else.  Last season Wes did a tremendous job at catching the ball and gaining major yards.  What made it difficult for him to get more recogntion was that he was overshadowed by the great performance of Randy Moss.  Wes Welker got open when no one else did and he made things happen with his yardage.
