JD is up there, Stan is in league with Swift,Bell,Westy and Reilly.
Another up there is Enunwa, wasn't used to his abilities.
DPE, he got injured, but might have been the best if he hadn't and simply had more reps.
Mo is up there too.
The rest, third tier.

I think in this offense I would go:
1.a/b Stanley Morgan and Quincy. Both real physical receivers that could get open. Stanley excelled at getting open with physicality and Quincy excelled at blocking guys. They were Niles Paul with better hands. Stanley was shaky at times though with this. We beat Colorado if Stanley catches a wide open pass.
2. Jordan. Dude just got open and caught everything tossed to him.
3. a/b JD and De'Mornay. Shifty guys that were great second receivers who could make a lot of yards after the catch.
4. a/b Nunn/Bell. Both just put up huge numbers in catches.
5. Purify. I think Banana-hands would do really good in this offense.
6. Swift and Peterson were really good move the chains guys. We could use a guy or two like them in this offense.
7. Brandons? I barely remember Kinnie. Reilly was sneaky fast because he was white. Kinnie was Purify light if I remember. Once again, I think both would do just fine in this offense.

 

[Suhrreal]

Depends what you want. All of these guys were pretty dang good. Also their value changes depending on where you want to line them up.

 

[jflores]

Wilson Thomas had more wins than any of these clowns

 

[cubsker]

thanks, i didn't know that.

 

[BigRedRising]

If I had to take one, enunwa. Maybe stan. The rest are just average really

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

13. Nunn

And one of the sweetest cars in town.

JD and DPE seem like the same guy to me. Both had amazing freshman years, especially on returns, but lost a little something as years went on. Both very injury prone.

Morgan and maybe Purify are the only two WR I feel that opponents had to game plan against. Purify has the smartest and probably the best NU QB (for the time frame) throwing to him in Zac Taylor.

Nunns the guy I feel sorry for on this list. Every time I see his name, I think of the fumble against Texas.

Yes on the last sentence, he’ll always be remembered for his fumble

Enunwa number one. Not debatable in my mind. From there who knows. JD would be down the line for me. DPE maybe. Paul, Swift, Peterson, Reilly, Stan, Purify, Bell, Westerkamp, Nunn. It's tough. They all bring, brought different things to the table. Peterson and Purify were lengthy targets. Niles would be at the top maybe but he had so many fumbles/drops. Great player though. Enunwa IMO was probably the best overall football player on the team his senior year. He had the grit you need from your whole team. He could have played linebacker or safety for us. He destroyed people on special teams and when somebody intercepted a ball.

Everybody can stop guessing. Husker Red got it right on the 1st try.

 

[ru4nu2win]

None of these guys won a conference title so they all suck!!

 

[NorthwoodHusker]

Why screw around? Irving Fryar, not even close

 

[Swiv3D]

Quincy Enunwa was 6'2" 225 and fast enough to have a 99 yard td catch off of a go route... yeah

 

[scarletred]

I was wondering the same thing but all these WR mentioned are from the last 15 years..

 

[Wyldcard]

Well the top 3 cannot be argued because of production which is ultimately what matters regardless.

1 Stanley Morgan
2 JD Speilman
3 Kenny Bell
4 Nate Swift

Argue all ya want, but these are the top 4 in the DONU record book.

Good point, BUT they played after Osborne era..

Were anyone of them 1st team All- American or drafted 1st in the NFL draft.

They were post Osborne, if they weren't that good and didn't produce at such a high level, then they wouldn't be miles ahead of everyone else in the record books. By the way, the only All American Receiver we've had from 70s to present was Irving Fryar, Johnny Rogers was an All American Return Specialist, not at Receiver though which he should've been.
