ESPN recently named former Oklahoma State football star Justin Blackmon as the fourth-best wide receiver of the past 50 years in college football.

Ranking behind only Marshall’s Randy Moss, Pittsburgh’s Larry Fitzgerald, and Alabama’s DeVonta Smith, the former Plainview High School standout was rated ahead of well-known college players such as Desmond Howard, Michael Crabtree, Tim Brown, and Calvin Johnson.
