The Los Angeles Rams have one of the stronger histories at wide receiver in NFL history. In 1951, Elroy “Crazy Legs” Hirsch had a record 1,495 receiving yards with the Rams. Henry Ellard and Flipper Anderson were one of the best wide receiver duos that the league had seen in the 80s. The same could be said about Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt 20 years later during the Greatest Show on Turf.
However, there was a serious void between Bruce and Holt and that next great Rams wide receiver. From 2008 to 2016, the Rams didn’t have a receiver eclipse 700 yards, let alone hit 1,000.
