Cris Carter

Cris Carter is, for me, the standard-bearer for hands at wide receiver. After a stumble in Philadelphia, he reinvented himself in Minnesota and rode that comeback all the way to the Hall of Fame, widely rated among the greatest ever at his position. At 191 cm he made impossible sideline catches look routine; the toe-tap grabs were genuinely an art form. The 1999 Walter Payton Man of the Year nod speaks to his character off the field, and his blunt, demanding voice as a television analyst shows the same tough love he gives the game. Resilience plus craft makes him easy to admire.
