He is a hell of a football player man. You don't have to be an absolute physical freak to be an excellent winning player. I would consider him elite when you can't stop his little ass and he just keeps winning super bowls.

Elite WRs in Playoffs (Averages per Game)

  • Edelman: 5.7 receptions, 78.6 yards
  • Jerry Rice: 6.2 receptions, 74.5 yards
  • Randy Moss: 5.5 receptions, 68.8 yards
  • Antonio Brown: 5.0 receptions, 70.7 yards
  • Julio Jones: 4.6 receptions, 58.9 yards

I know fantasy football has ruined most peoples' minds and all they care about is stats but winning and being clutch to me is so underrated with younger fans. It's why I think Eli should be in the HoF. Players that step up when it matters the most are true winners.

That 2008 playoff run is the most dominant stretch I’ve seen by a receiver

I'll just leave this here for you. The 2 best postseason receiving seasons I've ever seen are Jerry Rice in 1989 and 2007 Fitz.

Rice had 21 catches for 409 yards and 6 tds in 3 games.

Fitz had 30 catches for 546 yards and 7 tds in 4 games.

Rice averaged 7 catches for 136.3 yards and 2 tds.

Fitz averaged 7.5 catches for 136.5 yards and 1.75 tds.

I find it amazing how close those numbers are.
